| Welcome to my personal home page, where I blather on about myself rather a lot. This whole thing started when I was doing IT consulting in '99 in San Francisco and the last 4 letter domain names were being bought up. My unusual last name suggested that I might actually have a shot at mehn.com. Some poor sucker's been paying $15 or so a year for it for eleven years now. "As an investment". To him I say: Good luck with that. Unless someone tries to start up Multi Ethnic Hair and Nails.com you're wasting your money. But I will take it off of your hand for my family. I do a lot of stuff, for work and for my personal life. I volunteer and/or work for: - Burning Man - on the technical team as a UNIX systems admin - London Decompression - heading up the Ops team for this group - Appfrica - Advisor/board member - BidNetwork - mentoring developing world entrepreneurs Open Source: Debian (since '98) and Ubuntu (since '05) Linux (Slackware since 1993) Wrangling Drupal into applications and websites Helping companies and individuals make the most of open source software Complex nagios infrastructure Making SVN work for fun and profit Mostly being happy with but often moaning about OpenOffice Schools: University of Oxford - ye olde stone piles of dreaming spires Saïd Business School - a passion for social enterprise Pembroke College - The passion of pinkness Dell'Arte International School of Physical Theatre - Madness in dreary weather University of New Orleans - New Orleans' state-iest... Benjamin Franklin High School - New Orleans' finest Lusher School - Elementary Other: Yoga Cycling - a mode of transport Cycling - a project to report close calls with HGVs Backpacking (the mountains type, not the Eurail type) Drink wine, beer, tea, eat out and cook Music and politics: Too Much Joy - the best band you've never heard of |
