About Daniel Rigal
Hello. I am Daniel Rigal. I was born in 1970 and I live in Guildford in the United Kingdom. I work in North London doing Systems Administration and IT support for Jai Kudo, a manufacturer and wholesaler of glasses. I have an MSc in Communications Systems Engineering from the University of Kent where I was involved with UKC Radio.

I don't have any great plan to write on a particular subject. I make small improvements where I spot the need. I am not a trainspotter (honest!). I only write about railways because I don't drive and hence spend a lot of time on trains. I am also interested in IT (particularly open source issues), media, finance, modern art and design.

I like editing Wikipedia because I am not good enough at programming to give any useful free software to the world but at least I can contribute to the Commons this way. I get a lot out of Wikipedia as I use it as my main starting point for almost any form of research, at work or at home, so I am more than happy to give something back by improving articles or removing vandalism. I also enjoy trawling the new pages and weeding out the nonsense. It is an interesting window into the modern psyche to see what non-notable rubbish some people think is worthy of inclusion in a serious encyclopaedia.
