Ed Robinson came to London for a holiday from Melbourne, Australia 30 years ago. When not playing squash he is Principal of a college in central London – an ideal environment for trying out his latest title, be it mathematics or computing. He has a wonderful 12 year old son that he can sometimes refer to for a bit of technical help. Whereas he enjoys travel and history, he is unavoidably pre-occupied with his computer.
