About

I am a php/mysql web developer by trade and I've lived in 3 countries. Currently I live in California.

I began playing with livecds in 2005 and I've been using Linux, primarily Ubuntu since approximately July 2005.

I've been an ordinary member on the Australian national Linux user body Linux Australia and was the Secretary of the Sydney local LUG, Sydney Linux Users Group.
