The Seven Things is starting to take off in the blogosphere so thought I would do my bit…
So, here’s seven weird and wonderful things about yours truly;
- My first computer program was in BASIC on a ZX Spectrum, stored to secondary memory on cassette tape (yikes!). It was basically a menu selection program which invoked different subroutines based on menu choice. Yep, essentially a case() statement…
- My first job out of high school was as a copy typist, a skill which comes in handy as a programmer / IT person
- I had no hair until I was two years old (true!!!) and my nickname was Hare Krishna…
- My favourite food is spaghetti bolognese
- I can swim 3kms without stopping
- My favourite authors are Paulo Coelho and Jostein Gaarder, oh and William Gibson and Neal Stephenson too!
- I hold two degrees – a BSc majoring in Information Systems and a BA with majors in Indonesian language and security studies.
