Biography

About: 

I like stuff! I have a beautiful daughter, Lilianah, and beautiful girlfriend, Jacquie.

I live with 3 other people in Islington. We're all environmental and social activists. We (well, some of us) grow vegies, and *love* the organic fruit and veg we get from Beanstalk!

I work in a computer and web services cooperative called e-geek (http://e-geek.com.au) which offers home and small office computer and web services for the Newcastle region, including web design, computer sales and repairs, networking, virus removal and IT consulting.

I also do a lot of work with a collective called enviro-geek (http://enviro-geek.net) which offers reduced-rate or free web and computer services, support, and technical education to not-for-profit community, social justice, and environment focused organisations. The enviro-geek.net web site is a place for like-minded tech geeks to organise, share knowledge and forward all technical aspects of these movements in regards to computer and information technology.

Interests: 

In no particular order:

  • Sustainable living (What other kind is there...)
  • Technology: computers, renewable energy, human powered vehicles
  • Making things (making a recumbent trike at the moment, whee!)
  • Hiking and camping.

  • Local Exchange (or Energy...) Trading Systems, am a member of the Hunter LETS (http://www.auslets.org/hunter/)
  • The Lass O'Gowrie hotel on Wednesday nights
  • Life
  • The Universe
  • And, you know, everything.
