About

Developer with embedded, Delphi, C++, C and some other stuff. Likes: croissants, banana sandwiches, chicken magmaloo, beer and turbo-grapefruit. Dislikes: calls or emails asking me to do stuff, 'Intro to threads' websites, PHP, Ruby, nails in tyres, airports, any mention of food/beer when I'm hungry/thirsty and the gravitationally-challenged Parking Enforcement Officer downtown.
