A bit about me

I'm living in Melbourne, Australia after having spent 8 years in Bendigo in Central Victoria where we were getting whole weeks with the temperature over 40 deg C. My mates and I would retire to one of the local dams just out of town; that is until there was a blue-green algae outbreak in it. At the moment, I reckon it'd be nice to see the sun again as we're in the middle of winter here in lovely Melbourne.

As far as work goes, I've gone from one end of the technical scale to the other: I used to paddle a canoe and take people bushwalking for a living, now I work in info tech. On realising that my body wasn't going to last a lifetime of canoeing and bushwalking, I fell into info tech and I love it to bits.

I've recently managed to land a job developing software full time with Melbourne Business School with (Microsoft) Sharepoint.

When I'm not working or learning more about computers, I love my wine and whisky, cooking, my girlfriend, musicians like Eric Clapton, Rogue Traders, Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan (among others) and riding my bicycle.

cheers
Mike
