Work:
I am a coder/escaped sysadmin. During the daytime, I work as a
Reporting Systems Engineer at Ericsson.
Obviously, I don't speak for
them, etc.
The sacred and profane world of nic
My name is 'nic' (Nicolas James Doye), I am 39, married, male, vegetarian (ex- vegan), childhood cancer survivor, Catholic convert and father of two. I enjoy cycling, and a little bit of running (both slowly).
Politics:
Confused, centre-left, greenish, liberal (for a Catholic). I support
Make Votes Count
because
"one 'man' one vote" should mean something.
Digital Freedom:
I expect my digital content to be mine:
EFF. Note: DRM sucks.
I am against
software-patents
as they help no-one.
Free
and Open Source
Software is laudable.
Geekery:
My
RHCE
(in RHEL3) has now expired. I am an Oracle PL/SQL Developer
Certified Associate though.
I like
Perl,
Groovy,
C#
PostgreSQL,
Oracle.
and lots more.
Ordinary:
I'm really just an ordinary bloke. I'm not as nice, dull or serious
as the above might suggest. I'm also human - I don't live up to my
own standards. Oh well,... :-)
