....    I live in Johannesburg South Africa and work for a leading Internet Service Provider doing internal application, intranet and web development. I've just completed an NDIP in Information Technology. Computers have been a part of my life for many many years and will probably remain that way for a long time to come. Of the many aspects to computing, I enjoy graphic art, programming and the online "world".

....    My intrest in programming began during my first years at primary school. Although it was a very simple form of programming, Logo was what got me started. Today I program mainly in Visual Baisc, VBScript, C and variants thereof; including Perl and JavaScript. Borland Pascal was the language I cut my teeth on and I occasionaly dabble with Delphi.

....    My intrest in the "online world" began during the days of BBSes and has since moved on into the world of The Internet. A large amount of my time online is spent on IRC; which stands for Internet Relay Chat. I've been IRC'ing for a number of years now and have been running a network with a few friends, called ShadowFire [irc.shadowfire.org], for a few years too. Another network I frequent is the ZAnet IRC network [is.zanet.org.za], where I can be found in the channel #5FM
