-Linux user since 1998, I have been using computers since 1988 and have always had an interest in computer communication and networking, this interest extended to linux in 1998 after using [SCO] Unix at Waiariki Polytechnic and wanting to have the power of [Unix] on my home machine.
+Have worked all over NZ!
-Before becoming a [Linux] user I had primarily been a [DOS]/[Windows] user. My main interests were programming and BulletinBoardSystem~s. From 1994 to 1996 I ran Euphoria BBS in the Bay of Plenty town Whakatane
, during this period I also maintained the New Zealand BBS list and was a Co-Sysop on several other BBS's such as "The Dungeon" in
Wellington.
+Compel Automation (Hamilton)
, Alpha & Omega (Palmerston North), Millennium Technology (Hamilton), Turbo Investments Group (Napier), asnet Networks(Auckland/
Wellington)
.
-I spent 1 year at Waiariki Polytechnic in Whakatane doing CBC,
from there i progressed
to Waikato Polytechnic where I studied DipBC (Programming) which ruined my interest in programming mainly due to having to document every damn class in all my programs. After polytechnic I was initially employed at Compel Automation as a Systems Engineer where i met and worked
with fellow [WLUG] member GreigMcGill and MichaelPook , after doing this for approximately 9 months I moved to Palmerston North and worked for Alpha & Omega Technology where I worked for 11 painfully boring months, at this point I returned to Hamilton and worked at Millennium Technology as
a Computer Technician, I was employed by Turbo Investments Group
in Napier as their resident IT Manager, but got sick of being treated poorly like the rest of their staff.
-I am now employed as a Network Engineer for an Auckland based company, most of my time is spent working on Lucent/Ascend RAS equipment and other tricky gadgetry from FortiNet, Nortel and BlueCoat
.
+Lots of experience
from the Desktop
to the Telco
with a dabbling of management
in there too
.
-I was
a RedHat user
, but now [Gentoo]
is my daddy
.
+Currently employed by MPA In Auckland and work for the Lan1 Distribution Team, among other things
I am
a technical consultant for Axis
, Barracuda, Fluke, FortiNet and Nomadix. MPA
is a fantastic place to work
.
-I have a lot of experience with anti-virus protection and prefer Eset NOD32 due to it's low memory foot print, excellent performance and also it's ability to be centrally adminstered.
