Attoparsec is the pretentious brainchild of Matthew 'Fish' Dockrey, a dilettante with dreams of being a polymath. Having finally finished his M.Sc. in computer science, he is starting to think there should be more to his life than the computer industry. Hence this site.

Previous adventures of note include 48-hour film contests, canoeing the second-largest river in North America, and flying a robot on NASA's Weightless Wonder (better known as the Vomit Comet).
