About
I'm Chris Northwood - often found online using the handle laser, or some permutation of this. I also hold the radio callsign 2E0NTW, however I've been dormant for some time. I'm hoping to get back into radiosport soon, though.
I'm currently studying Computer Science at the University of York, and when it's not term-time I live in Doncaster, South Yorkshire.
