Aaron is the Technical Overlord for The Register, the UK's biggest and cheekiest IT news website. Last year he emigrated to Edinburgh, and finds the way of life there most invigorating. Before that he worked as a software consultant and trainer, and he enjoys applying his teaching experience in giving conference talks. He's also an aficionado of drinking Real Ale and playing the didgeridoo (though he finds doing the two simultaneously can be a little messy).
