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).

An unusual reason for a cancelled flight

I was stuck for a few hours in Brussels today, after my mid-afternoon flight back to London was cancelled. I like Brussels... but unfortunately I had to spend my extra few hours at the airport, which is not the best part of Belgium.

The reason my flight was cancelled? London City Airport was closed due to a World War II bomb being discovered nearby! Interestingly, if you read the BBC story about the discovery, there are links to other stories about old WWII bombs being discovered in the UK!
