  • Nickname: Deadpan110
  • Author Info:
    It was in my younger years, living in Kidderminster, England, UK, I picked up my first home computer - a Sinclair ZX Spectrum+ (1984). From that point on, I haven't been able to shake what seems to be my new found purpose. My 'hobby' has had me spend much of my life being surrounded by computers and gaining valuable knowledge through the art of trial and error. Thus leading me to developing Open Source Projects, such as CRIMP, Whap, Genwulf and maintaining a small cluster of my very own. I know I'm good at what I do. I also know I'm a keen and rapid learner. Should there be prospective information floating out there... I will consume it.

Where I live

I was born in Bewdley and spent my early days living in Stourport-on-Severn, Hagley and then Kidderminster which are all within or close proximity to the county of Worcestershire, England, UK.

In 2003 I moved to Welshpool, Wales, UK where I lived until emigrating to Australia with Gurgi-Girl on the 21st April 2007.

We briefly lived at Morayfield, QLD, Australia and West Lakes, SA, Australia before moving to out own place in Kilburn, SA, Australia on the 14th November, 2007.
