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).

One Boing Boing reader quoted in the post suggests that Sealand's claims to sovereignty will not have been helped by the fact that the only person on the platform at the time of the fire had to be evacuated. The large number of British rescue personnel involved in the recent incident also exceeded the population of the platform
