Hello
I’m Paul Beesley - first year Computer Science student full-time and software engineer in my spare time. At the moment I live and study at Durham University in the UK.
Contact Details
The fastest way to reach me is the contact form on the site. I receive emails via push so it will notify me directly and I’ll be able to get back to you promptly. You might, however, recognise me from the EduGeek forums where I go by the alias Bizzel. Feel free to leave me a private message there too.
What I’m Into
Even to me, the words “computer scientist” conjour up images of boffins working late into the night, hunched over their faintly glowing screens. But fear not, it couldn’t be further from the truth! We do, in fact, move!
I’m very active with clubs and societies, mostly the hill walkers. I love hiking, trekking and camping in equal measure and I’ll never pass up the opportunity to go somewhere. Outside the society I’ve survival camped in the Yorkshire Dales and there are photos from that in my gallery.
Music is also one of my passions, though I can’t yet play an instrument. I’m a self-confessed audiophile and listening to music is my main way to relax. One of my goals this year is to make some decent progress with the acoustic guitar.
My final ‘big’ hobby is photography and there are plenty of opportunities up here in Durham to use my camera. With any luck the gallery will be full of photos in no time!
Work
From September 2007 to October 2008, I worked as an ICT Technician at my former school. This involved looking after a network of around 400 computers and 1200 users. For details of the technologies I’ve worked with, please have a look at my CV.
