Alan 'Kael' Ball

Fun Stuff:

I'm passionate about film and video editing and find it particularly good for de-stressing from a days work. Though, yay for me, I work as a media studies technician for Wreake Valley Community College in Syston, Leicester, and get to do this all day, as well as take photos, photoshop/illustrate flyers and build websites. Busy huh? On top of all that, I prepare tutorials for the school 'Virtual Learning Environment' and provide staff training in Macintosh software, usually iLife apps.

The other half of work is spent in the Library at Leicester College, where apart from the less glamorous duties of shelving and cataloging, I help out with the Moodle E-library that I built when I was on full time hours.

Most of my time outside of my 'mundane' life is in Combat Re-enactment, and even then I end up doing promotional material for my group - the Vikings! Of Middle England - including the website.
