A Brief Introduction (to me)

Paul works for Quantum, in Adelaide, South Australia as the System Administrator for the Adelaide Office.

He was resently employed as a System Adminstrator and Perl Programmer. Paul has also worked on embedded Linux systems for a Crane Safety Systems. In past lives he has worked with large SQL databases (education), been a Unix/Linux System Administrator (defence), and developed network managment software (startup). Oh, yeah and he also studied Physics and Mathematics at the University of Adelaide.

He is also involved in LinuxSA (The South Australian Linux User Group, http://www.linuxsa.org.au) and Air-Stream (Adelaide Community Wireless Network, http://www.air-stream.org.au). He has given presentations on various topics of personal interest, ranging from distributed computing, embedded Linux and 'git'.

Paul maintains a community news site (MawsonLakes.Org) and is in the habit of passing out Ubuntu CD's whenever he can.
