r3dux, on the 11th of June 2010, thinking about hats =P

Hi there!

If you’re wondering who I am, what I do, or whether you should you have any faith in anything I write on this site – then you’ve came to the right place!

I guess to start from the top, my name’s Al, I’m from Wales, and I’m a system/software engineer and university teacher. Or really, I was a system/software bod, and then I jacked it all in to move to Australia and get married to a great gal, and now I’m teaching at a local university – and have been for the last 18 months or so.

I was raised on video games and coca-cola like so many of us, and I suppose I’ve used that initial love of gaming to push myself through the education system (gaining a B.Sc (Hons) in Computer Science, and a M.Sc in Multimedia in the process), which means that I can code in half a dozen languages and pull off Metsu Shoryukens first time at will* =P

For things I like, I guess music, gaming and coding (the more graphical oriented, the better) would be right at the top of the list, I love messing about with all kinds of tech stuff, reading, learning (and learning and learning and learning…), and occasionally playing the guitar. For things I hate? I try to not even play that game.

The aim of this website is just to be an online repository of information and fun stuff – anything that makes me smile and/or might be useful to people. So if it takes me a number of hours to work something out, and I can write an article which outlines how to do whatever process and help other people out – then awesome! – mission accomplished, and if I ever need to repeat the process it’s documented. But if I just want to post pictures of kittens wearing hats then I’ll do that too – as this isn’t really a technical resource; it’s more like an online scrapbook. And if you find it useful or entertaining, then all the better =D

Cheers!,
r3dux

* = Except when I really need one. “At will” means “about 70% of the time”. Not a serviceable substitute for a loving, caring relationship. Terms and conditions apply.
