About Me

I am studying towards a masters degree in Digital Media. The course deals with Instructional Technology methods and pedagogical underpinnings. Do computer support work at a University as well as DB management and web development.

I am a member of Alcoholics Anonymous and have refrained from drinking since 11 February 2000. I describe myself as a liberal Catholic though the commitment to worship seems sorely lacking. I am 46, married and father to a wonderful son. My one vice seems to be the game Fight Clubwhere I play the character Bloodguard a name purloined from Stephen Donaldson's Thomas Covenant books.
