January 22, 2007 · 1 min read

I've been in the "5 things that people don't know about me" meme that is going around

So here is a random 5 things that most people that read this blog would not know about me.

  • I'm a Christian I go to One Community Church (the website is not much - but I am working with them trying to get that sorted out)
  • I did not do a Computer Science degree at University I went to RMIT and completed a degree in (Product Design) This may seem like a change of direction, but the course taught me problem solving, creative thinking and communication skills and there are many skills that I learnt as part of this court that I.
  • I am the eldest of 3 boys Not that special you may think, but my father is also one of 3 boys and each of them had 3 boys!
  • I'm going to Redmond at the end of this Month I participated beta program for the BI certifications and did well enough that I am now going over to participate in a focus group at Microsoft to finalize these certifications. This is my first trip to Redmond and I'm really looking forward to it.
  • I know how to do basic welding I have not done any in the last 12 years, but I did enjoy it when I was at Uni. A component of our course was to do a semester of welding. We did Oxy-Acetylene and Arc welding and I still have a small scar to prove it:)

And here's 5 people I'd like to give an opportunity to share 5 things (if they feel like it)

  • We Won The One Award I Actually Care About

    Full Scale made the Inc. 5000 for the fifth year straight, the 12th listing across my three companies. Here is why the one award you cannot buy is worth stopping for.

  • Your Customers Build the Features Now

    I let a tool I liked sit dead for a year rather than build the features I wanted. An MCP server meant I never had to, and your customers can do the same to your product.

  • Get the Size of a Directory in Linux the Easy Way

    du -sh for the quick answer, ncdu for the cleanup, df for the disk itself: every command for checking directory size in Linux, plus why du and df never agree.

  • Vim Search and Replace: The Ultimate Guide

    One :%s command replaces every match in a file before a find dialog would even open. The Vim substitute patterns worth the muscle memory: flags, ranges, capture groups, and multi-file edits.
