Retired ships' chief engineer, navy diver, shipping company general manager.
I live in Wanganui, a small town on the west coast of New Zealand's North Island.
Windows user since about 1991, keeping up with Linux with the intention of switching in the medium term. Learning about web design, digital photography and graphics. Interested in science & technology, the environment, IT and politics.
Member of EE for 4 or 5 years before discovering in 2006 that I could actually answer a question or two. Would like to spend more time doing just that because it's a great way to learn, but I get addicted.
So much to do, so much to learn, so little time.
