Background and interests

I joined the department in November 1984, at which time I was programmer, technician, and assistant secretary. I set up our first Unix network, with Sun 3/50s and disk storage units I put together myself in late 1985 / 1986. I helped wire up our first Macintosh Laboratory, and was responsible for first-line hardware and software maintenance on all our machines as well as labs and tutes. I now have time for little else except our Unix workstations (Suns, DECs, SGI, HP - even NeXTSTEP) and dealing with purchasing and maintenance for the department. I am also the Oracle DBA.

I have a BBS from Massey, and have completed the Computer Science undergrauate course at Otago University. I also have completed my Restricted "A" Electricians Ticket at Otago Polytechnic, and have studied practical micro-computer hardware courses, also at Otago Polytechnic.

What Life?

Oh, Okay! .....
Reading, ice wine, car trials, role playing, SF, cross-sums (now known as sudoku) and skiing
Marathon gives me motion sickness (I'd rather play games like Diablo and NeverWinter Nights), and I like to keep out of the kitchen.
(I've done my time.)

I come from a large close-knit family
(we play together - canasta, scrabble, pictionary, charades, tea-parties ....)
