I grew up in Perth, Western Australia, and now | | live in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I recently wrote my PhD thesis in Internet | | governance and started work for Consumers International coordinating its | | programmes on Access to Knowledge and communications. | | | | I used to have a personal timeline at this point, but as I get older it is | | growing alarmingly, so I have moved it. The edited highlights include my | | marriage to the equally geeky Dominica in 2006, the birth of our son Doyle | | in 2007, the dates I began my businesses, Terminus Network Services in | | 1998, iLaw in 2000 and Malcolm Media in 2006, and my move to Malaysia after | | finishing my PhD in 2008. Look at my resume if you really care. | | | | Outside of hours I'm involved in science fiction fandom (straying into | | related genres such as fantasy, horror and anime), and acting in amateur | | theatre, short and feature films, and television. I have a Bacon number of | | 3 from acting as an extra in a Jet Li kung fu film (video/screenshot). I | | also wanted to be a professional writer, but of the two novels I started | | one was rejected and the other abandoned (though I did write and produce a | | play). | | | | I have achieved many of my life goals already, but my remaining ambitions | | are to learn C (and Objective C), to get a ham radio licence and an | | professional certification in Linux administration, to write an original | | science fiction novel, to learn to juggle and to learn Japanese (ideally | | both at once). | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Links: portal / wedding / calendar / honours / phd / iq / igfwatch / random | | page generated in 0.455 seconds sadlittlewebjournal 2.9.3 | | content (c) its respective creator(s) web administration | | valid html 4.01 transitional foaf / rss feed | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
