JEB

Gemma, West Highland White Terrier. 19 June 1990 — 31 August 1998.

My name is James, but i am often called JEB (my initals) to avoid ambiguity. I live in Perth, Western Australia (and for a lovely 7 1/2 years, E14 London, UK).

I studied French and IT at UWA doing a Bachelor of Computing and Mathematics. I've been lucky enough to travel a fair bit with work and for pleasure across Europe and the USA.

Who is Andrea?

Andrea is my wife. She is a primary school teacher.

Who is Oskar?

He's our son. Trouble is his middle name (well, not really, but you get the idea).

My father and me, June 5, 1995.

Well, like most people, I enjoy a good movie. Sci-fi, like Star Wars, Battleship Gallactica, etc. And, of course, music: REM, Live, Counting Crows, Enigma.

I am a Linux professional as well; I 'play' with Debian, a Free Operating System (like your Windows XP, Mac OS). OK, I'm a Debian Developer, and CPAN author...
