Has
worked in the computer industry since 1998 on areas including
web services, java, web development, web portals, J2EE, web
scripting and pretty much anything else you can think to build
web based enterprise tools. Designed this site for use by the
LabF members.
Spends way too much time in front
of a computer. Is a advocate for
open
source projects and the use of apple computers. Favourite TV programs include The Simpsons, Charmed and futurama.
Likes watching anime. |

Born
in Alice Springs, came down to SA for high school to St Peter's
College as a boarder.
Went to Flinders Uni 1995-1998, did BSc
(Hons) in Comp Sci. Worked for DSTO since.
Program in Java
but dabble with Python occasionally.
Enjoys Quake III death
match because it's mindless - counter strike and half-life
in general are too awkward and dull
to play (get killed too early in each round).
Would be reincarnated as:
