My username is a reference to https://wiki.lspace.org/Ponder_Stibbons, a geek who thinks of himself as the Unseen University's "token sane person". In reality he's as mad as the rest of the faculty.

I also ski, grow super-hot chillis (and make super-hot chilli sauce), lumberjack, hence also woodturning, and during lockdown did a campervan conversion...
