I'm currently employed as a Systems Administrator for Computer Science at the University of Western Australia. Up until May 1st 2002 I was the Systems Admin for the Centre for Water Research, also at UWA, however the support contract expired and so I migrated to fulltime work for Computer Science.

I do not spend all my time in Computer Science I also do on-demand support for the Faculty of Engineering, Computing and Maths, the Australian Centre for Geomechanics and the West Australian Supercomputing Project. I am also backup support for Maths and also CWR (again). You could say I get around a lot.

Previously I worked at DOLA (Department of Land Administration) also as a systems administrator and earlier still I began my illustrious career at Eastern Hills Senior High School as a technician cum anything electronic related.

My own technical notes are available on my tech page.

Another set of pages I host here are the highlights from a world trip I made in 2001. They are available here. I've just finished putting up my other trip photos. I finally got around to putting up the photos from my 2002 trip. They can be found here.

In June 2006, I got to go to Switzerland for training on the new Cray Supercomputer before attending the CUG conference. Afterwards I took holidays and did a tour of Europe. As usual, I took lots of photos to document the trip.

In 2010 I headed back to Europe for first a tour of the former Communist states, then went to a family reunion in Ireland before heading across the US to Japan, because if you're going to travel, you may as well make the most of it. A fraction of the photos I took can be found here
