About

So, you're bored enough to be clicking on the "all about me" page of someone's personal website. Don't worry, we've all been there. I have some random stuff in the ramblings page, as well as some interesting links. If you've been there and done that, or really want to know a bit more about me, keep reading.

My online handle may be Latin ("necaris" means something fairly morbid!) but my real name is actually Arabic, and has a rather more mundane meaning. Raised in Bangladesh, I studied at an almost-American high school and moved to the UK to attend a thoroughly British university. No longer a student, I now self-define as a computer geek and free (as in libre) software enthusiast, science-fiction & fantasy bookworm, sometime cynic, and hug-slut.

My personal section has several other pages that can help define me: among other things there's my CV, my public blog, and the music I'm listening to. Have a look at them if you really want to.

Oh, yes, and my picture - it was taken at a ball in Oxford in my first year. (Believe it or not, I don't really make a habit of walking around in full black tie). Since then I've gained a little weight and lost a little hair, but nothing else has changed.

I can be reached by e-mail here, or if you really want, by regular mail at Merton College, Oxford OX1 4JD, UK. (The college ought to forward it to my current address).
