Introductions

30 Days of writing: Day 6

OK after five entries I have two regular readers (Hi Michael! Hi Andy!) and a further two sometimes readers (Hi Jen! Hi Annelise!), my popularity is sharply on the rise, and therefore it would probably do me good to provide you, my wonderful audience, with a run down of who’s ramblings you are reading (as well as introducing you to each other: Michael, you’ve met Jen and Annelise, this is Andy. Andy, meet Michael, Jen is my wife, and Annelise is my sister. OK, we’re done here :) ).

My name is Ian Tyrrell, I am about six foot tall, and have blonde hair with it’s own (collective) personality. I have loads of energy, which unfortunately clashes with my low fitness level. One of these days (tomorrow?) I plan on doing something about the fitness thing.

I’m a dad to Matthias, who you can see some photos of here. He’s great, but stops me sleeping. He currently knows the words:
- ‘word’ (a’ight!)
- ‘pear’
- ‘toast’
- ‘dad’
- ‘mum’
- ‘shoes’
- … that’s about it actually.

I work for a company called Proxima Technologies, doing Java development. If anyone runs a big business and needs some business systems management tools, let me know and I can hook you up. Andy will remember this place as he quit about a fortnight ago, and used to sit next to me.

I’m a Christian (I’m sure there will be more on this topic later).
I like meat.
I like Firefly and if you want to buy me the DVD that’d be just dandy.
I like driving.
I like sleeping (but don’t get much of it done unfortunately… see comment on being the father of a small child).
I like ninjas
and pirates
and giant robots with energy swords.

    Hey Ian.

    If you haven’t already, you should give “Yohoho! Puzzle Pirates” a go.
    It’s good, clean, pirate-themed, Java-based puzzling fun!
    No ninjas, though (unfortunately). :)

    I am also a Christian Java developer in Sydney who likes meat, appreciates pirates, has exetel BB and tolerates weird looks while using a laptop on the train. I think I’ll keep an eye on your blog, in case you are my long-lost twin brother or something.

    Hope to see you ’round!

    Graham.

    Hey Graham,
    If you read a few posts onwards you will find a kind of review-type thing of puzzle pirates.

    I’m a pirate on the Viridian ocean (going by the name of RodeoClown (funnily enough) and play in my lunchtimes at work (we have a pretty lenient internet policy here :) )

    What train are you on normally?

    (and how did you find my blog, just out of interest?)
