About
This blog contains the thoughts and rants of Aled Treharne. An IT Manager from South Wales, UK by day, I have a fairly in-depth interest in technical subjects and you may find some of the posts on here are quite possibly extremely boring and difficult to understand at the same time. If you find any of those posts to be useful, my sincere apologies beacuse you’re probably another system administrator. You have my condolences.
In addition to the time I spend on computers, I have a few interests outside of work. In no particular order they are:
- Walking
- I thoroughly enjoy spending time walking up and down various mountains. Some might point out that this is a futile task as once you’re actually at the top, there’s not much to do other than look around and come back down again. But then, that’s life really.
- Mountain Rescue
- Following fairly naturally along from walking and general mountaineering is the time I spend volunteering with the Central Beacons Mountain Rescue Team. We train once a week on a Thursday night in Merthyr Tydfil, have one Sunday per month on exercise somewhere in the Brecon Beacons, and respond to callouts 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
- First Responders
- As well as rescuing people from the Mountains and other areas of Wales, people in Caerphilly may see me from time to time as I rush around as a volunteer for the Ambulance service as a First Responder. Responding to the highest priority calls, we are usually first on scene, providing essential immediate care to those people unfortunate enough to need our help.
- Role Playing
- When I’m not saving people’s lives, I’m coming up with ways to kill them. I enjoy playing a little Dungeons and Dragons from time to time, and I’m currently involved in a Cthulhu adventure on Monday nights. I’m currently preparing to run my own games.
