I live in Sydney, Australia with my wife and two kids.
I currently work in the payments sector but before that I was in mining and manufacturing. Prior to that I was in local government.
I've always been very keen on technology and I'm a bit of a "jack of all trades".
I'm active in a whole bunch of circles including a lot of Aspergers and Computing groups. My favourite non-computing pastimes involve watching films, walking and being with my family.

I first got involved with BBC Micro computers in the eighties (as a student) but instead of doing my school work on them, I started writing my own programs. I became quite proficient during the latter stages of the DOS years and I got on board Windows when Windows /286 was released. I've been on Windows ever since though I dabble quite a bit in other OSes as well.I was heavily involved with Visual BASIC from version 1.0 through to 6.0 (until Microsoft destroyed it) and I discovered Lotus Notes at version 3.0 and have stuck with it since then. Today, I'm an IT Manager and I deal with a a lot of projects and compliance but I still prefer the 'hands on' approach and I love playing with new software.
