Introduction
Born? - Yes
Originally from Rutland, England. Went to Freising, West Germany on a short assignment and got stranded there for 16 years. I went mainly to be close to the alps. I've traveled a lot, including India, Nepal, Sri Lanka and the far north of Pakistan (Hunza Valley). Most of Western Europe and some of the former East Bloc. More recently Canada's eastern provinces, the Yukon and some of Alaska.
Currently living in Central Ontario, close to Georgian Bay. I changed my element and became a sailor (no mountains here).
I'm a software designer, really prefer Java, but currently writing C++.
