About

Hi all, I’m a 22-year old minimalist, eco-libertarian, tea fanatic, programmer and systems administrator from Hobart, Tasmania.

I’m currently studying for a Bachelor of Computing from the University of Tasmania. I work part-time at Principal Computers‘ Hobart store as a computer technician.

I enjoy computer gaming. I’m not a fan of FPS games generally, but my favourite computer game is Counter-Strike: Source. Other games I’ve enjoyed include Age of Empires II, Grand Theft Auto 2, Final Fantasy X and Jak and Daxter.

Playing around with expensive computer gear is a hobby of mine. In the past I’ve dabbled with pro audio equipment, and my current pastime involves Cisco routing equipment. I don’t have any qualifications in the area yet, though getting a CCNA is an eventual goal.

I also have a weird obsession with self improvement. I’ve tried vegetarianism (works great until a family member cooks a steak) and polyphasic sleeping (works great until you get deadly bored at 4am). Note that I’m currently neither of these things, I have a habit of snapping back to my former ways.

Sometimes I read books (most of the time I just pretend to). When I read, I like to read philosophy and things that are known classics. I guess I just don’t like wasting time on things I don’t know are good yet. I tend to treat TV the same way.
