JOCHTA

My name is John, I was born December 17th 1968 in Oxford, England. I grew up and went to school in Oxford and now live in south Oxfordshire with my wife and our two children... I have worked for the British Geological Survey since January 1988 after leaving school with A-levels in 1987. I am based in the Wallingford office of BGS which deals with hydrogeology. I have an Earth Sciences degree from the Open University from which I graduated with honours (2i) in 1994. I also have a MSc in Computing for Geoscience which I gained in 1997. I am an Oracle 9i Application Development Certified Professional... I think I have a name for the site. I've wanted to call it something other than jochta.com for a while and wasn't sure what to use. In the end the answer was staring me in the face. I've always quoted the lyrics from The Scaffold's song Buttons Of Your Mind as my all time favourite (this song was on the B-Side to the single Lily the Pink which was #1 in the charts on the day I was born).
