Mae Govannen! (Elvish, look it up.)

Hello, my name is Ben Conroy and I help to run this site along with Andrew and the other Admins. I am a fervent reader (my favourite book is Tolkien's
The Lord of the Rings), and I am also a videogame player and developer! (I wonder why on earth I thought this warranted an exclamation mark?)
(I'm Co-President and Coder for a pretty small company called Conflict Games).
I started out in school until 4th class, then my parents decided to homeschool, which was probably the best thing that ever happened to me.
I thought both the '06 and (even more so) '07 HEN conferences were fantastic by the way. Rock on the CluckCluck generation! Actually, that sounds hopelessly cliched. So how about... Pop on? Rap on? Jazz on? Trad on? Indie on?

And speaking of music, some of my favourite albums would be:

Funeral by Arcade Fire

Hounds of Love by Kate Bush

The Joshua Tree by U2

Under the Iron Sea (And Hopes and Fears) by Keane

And many more.

Enjoy the website,
Ben
