I'm a late twenty early thirty something guy who lives in Melbourne (again). I moved to Sydney from Melbourne about seven years ago and more recently back. In my new appearance in town I live in Collingwood.

I work in computing - specifically stopping bad people stealing money from good people - and I write technical books of which I have two published and (maybe) another on the way. The first book is about using Linux to stop bad people stealing from good people and the second is about enterprise monitoring.

My interests include cooking, wine, political theory, photojournalism, philosophy, poetry. I enjoy good conversation, laughter, reading, music, and my cats (and I even miss Alf occasionally) - who (minus Romeo *sad face*) have come to live in Melbourne with me. Things that piss me off are jingoism, bad grammar, violence and cucumber.

P.S. I also have a sister who has complained about not being mentioned here - she also lives in Melbourne, makes things with metal, curates and shops. Usually for shoes.
