Interests

Computer & Technology: No news there! Anyone wants to be into I.T. as a job and for me it’s like a labor of love not hard work it is an enjoyment. Most my jobs and services have been provided for free though, training in how to use computers, internet and programs is charged fair small (very small) fee, the same applies to repairs and other odd jobs, like pc/other repairs and remote support, Network Setup wired and wireless secure configuration. Intalation of OS's From Anything Windows to Linux and configu

Graphic and UI Design: Design wise I started with some old sk00l advertising but eventually about 3 years ago I taught myself How to use Photoshop/Gimp and have provided some services to open source and helped a friend with his commercial project FlashFXP by designing toolbars for his programs and allow user customization as a result of never asked anything in return.

Movies/Films: Who doesn’t enjoy a good blockbuster and a bottle of wine?

Photography: One day many years ago I went and bought a camera a Sigma a Sigma SLR SA300 with a 30/50mm lens and a 300mm lens in package I went nuts and photographed just about anything I found interesting some of the pictures remain and arguably some are pretty good indeed IMO, I sold it when I needed some money. One of the worst mistakes I have made along my life.

Beta Testing: This is another labor of love which allows me to sample and keep on top of what’s to be within our computers and living rooms some day in a close future, I spend a fair amount of time on this but I also get to keep retail copies of both software and Hardware I test ;) what fun is to take it all apart and turn it into something else. I also have helped indirectly to promote the growth of many open source projects by advice and suggestions, I am happy to see that this has worked in all cases, nothing like a whisper and allow Project Manager to help them realize the full potential of their Teams opensource/commercial work and expanding their user base as well as retention rate of users. Always understated and allowing such developers/Teams/Companies to realize and make such decisions.

Entrepreneur: Many years in the field directly and indirectly related to Technology have given me an opportunity to analyze and identify problems, market needs and gaps, own personal Business at time this is written is moving on planning stages to address and fill in these gaps and address these problems with my solutions.

Family Values & beliefs: The world is turning into a fast paced stressful and counterproductive in various sectors which affect the performance and dedication of individuals within a working environment. It is my undeterred intention to introduce within my own future Business & help promote amongst other Businesses the value of the family and welfare of it's employees by making use of already existing solutions.

My wife: Comes before all these but at the bottom of the list, none the lesst my most valued part of my live, my very own soul mate and my other half. I am now all but complete. I still pinch myself once in a while even after all the years we been together!
