I'm an Australian, based in the Washington, DC, area of the United States. I spend a lot of time there with Jasmine, Australia's best-known speedsolver of the Rubik's Cube. Prior to the US, Jasmine and I were based in London, UK. We have also lived previously in the United States and Australia.

I have worked for an Australian business rules and compliance company since 1999 in Australia, the US and the UK. I have also lectured in IT and Law related topics at King's College, London, and at The Australian National University.

I have some more information and a list of publications available (pop-up window).

Apple Computer does not exist

I always suspected that Apple Computer must have been a figment of someone's over-active imagination. Now, Microsoft has proved this to be the case.

According to ABC (Australia) news:

Apple Computer does not exist in rival Microsoft's Virtual Earth mapping program.

The program, which was launched onto the Internet by US software giant Microsoft, promises to deliver aerial views of any home or business in the nation.

But it shows an empty lot where Apple Computer has its Silicon Valley campus.

Do I need to stop using my iPod if Apple doesn't exist?

What will Michael's ImageMagick book be like?

My brother, Michael, is writing a book. It's about ImageMagick, whatever that is -- not really my scene. He recently noticed that the book has been listed on Amazon, even though he has not handed the manuscript over to the publisher yet.

Hopefully, Michael's foray into book publishing will not be inspired by some of his other comments on the literary form. For example, he seems quite inspired by the bad writing contest that is held at San Jose University.

Actually, I'm sure his book will be fine.
