Maybe it's time I told you a little about myself. My name is Charlie Hornsby and I've been going by the username chornsby for a fair while (see GitHub etc). I live in England, enjoy music and videogames, and I seem to be running out of shirts that haven't come from Qwertee. Seriously, for me, that site has revolutionised clothes shopping...
I'm currently studying chemistry at the University of Oxford and I'm in my final year. This means I'm in the process of writing up a thesis on the project work that I've completed this year. My area of research is in computational chemistry and has involved writing a program in Python to estimate how well molecules stick together.
It's really been this year, or academic year I should say, that I've got into programming. Partly it was the nature of my project, but mostly I've been driven by my sense of scientific enquiry and enjoyment of learning. It's especially nice to be learning skills and techniques that aren't being examined, for a change.
Just over two years ago I started dating my girlfriend who lives in Finland, and you can tell it must be serious because I'm intending to move out there an live with her while she finishes her university course in translation. I'm hoping to find work there, though I'm aware of the many challenges that face me. This is quite an important (and exciting!) part of my life, so I might write more about it another time.
