Welcome! A bit about me

Hello and welcome to my blog.

I know, everyone has a blog, so why care about mine? Well, if you're not a Sysadmin and dyed-in-the-wool geek, you probably won't. But I've been doing this job for quite awhile now and every time I discover some new-to-me-technology I think, "Wow, I should share that - there's a chance it's new to someone else, too". So that's what this is all about.

I've been a System Administrator at Simon Fraser University for over a decade now. Before that, I was a Network Administrator for 5 years. And now I'm venturing into the world of software development, getting my feet wet with Java development in the Identity Management space.

My passion is learning, especially about new technology. I'm a geek at heart, having built my first computer from chips 3 decades ago (I'm not *that* old - I was 13). Now I rarely touch hardware anymore, spending most of days developing, integrating, and tuning software. But I still love my toys :)

I live in Vancouver, but now spend almost half my time in Toronto. Besides working at SFU, I also work part time at BCNET, and do occasional consulting work, primarily in the area of Unix and Zimbra mail

In what little spare time I have, I've been known to renovate and restore houses. I also enjoy cycling, photography, and travel

So welcome, and if anything I say here, introduces you to something new, I'd love to hear about it!
