Me, Myself and I
The BangRocks Network features: BangRocks.com and its various subdomains.
My favourite books are The Wisdom of Florence Scovel Shinn and The Alchemist. I also like a DVD called “What the bleep do we know? - Down the rabbit hole”. It “is a controversial 2004 film that combines both documentary interviews, fiction and animation to posit a connection between science and spirituality based upon the teachings of JZ Knight/Ramtha. The topics discussed include neurology, quantum physics, psychology, epistemology, ontology, metaphysics, magical thinking and spirituality”.
I have a gorgeous three year old daughter named Sienna whom I see every weekend that I can (and any other day off that I can as well). She keeps me going in life and gives me something to look forward to.
I enjoy taking my daughter and other friends out Geocaching.
I help out on various forums including at: AusPUG.org, Mepislovers, YoyoGames.
I’ve dabbled in computer graphics, computer programming, computer music, databases, spreadsheets, documents, etc. I’ve had jobs building PCs, repairing PCs, networking PCs, supporting networks and internet service provider customers. I’ve had jobs running major Sun Solaris and Linux (and FreeBSD) servers. I’ve even touched on routers, switches and hubs. I’ve tried just about every aspect of computer interaction that you can think of. Even voice recognition. I’ve programmed in a few different languages from Perl to PHP & SQL to C, Gamemaker Language and shell scripting BASH.
