In year 11 my German teacher marked me with a 66% score. It was too much for my pride to bear. My self-image was that of a nerd, always getting 90% plus. The thought of doing German in year 12 and “failing” dizzied me. I dropped German and chose Computer Science. In year 12 I achieved 100% in Computer Science.<\/p>\n
I ambled along though a Computer Engineering degree. Each morning at Monash university I would proudly start the day with a coffee scroll and Pepsi from the Engineering faculty cafe.<\/p>\n
I’ve worked about 8 different jobs both permanent and as a contractor, worked in England and Australia, and done my share of geeky other things.<\/p>\n
Most of the systems I’ve helped put in have been replaced. There’s not much to show for 18 years in the field. But over that time I’ve grown a fascination for how different businesses use IT, make money and become successful.<\/p>\n
This blog is a place to leave a trail and state my opinions about technology and business and for other geeks to shoot them down!<\/p>\n
I will write about new technology, people in IT, organisational dysfunction, and my own life-learnings as an IT geek.<\/p>\n
I’ll try to write lean and jargon free. I’ll even use diagrams where possible. I’ll try to simplify. Basically the opposite of every other tech blog.<\/p>\n
