#introduction I’m Michael, a Computer Science lecturer in St Andrews, Scotland.

I like making cocktails, learning French, and designing and playing board games. I also like playing old video games (currently playing Warcraft 1), watching and reviewing films (see https://letterboxd.com/mtorpey), and in 2016 I wrote a novel about elephants which is still lingering in first draft status (#NaNoWriMo).

I still use two spaces after a full stop, although I think I’m the only one left.
