Mate, I was keen. I started organising a 24 hour, 400km ride around Centenial Park. But I couldn't get a childrens charity who were willing to help organise the event. So I dropped it in disgust. I busted my arse for the Westmead Kids hospital on the ride to Melbourne, and I got pretty much no help at all.

Mine is a beautiful cockatiel named "Ceesar".
Sadly, he passed away in November 2005 from liver cancer, aged 5 years.

The best self portrait I have ever taken! :D Taken in heavy fog late at night standing in front of a car with the fog lights on. Actually is the top of Mt Coree on the ACT / NSW border.

A caricature of yours truly at a work party a few years ago, scanned in and colored with the gimp one day when I was bored and wanted to teach myself how to digitally ink & add colour to line art.

I did one of my wife too, but that was based on a photograph that I then filtered down to line art and cleaned up for several hours before colouring.

Yes I do, and Yes I do.
After thirty odd (some of them very odd!) years in the computer industry, I am trying to reinvent my self as a chair maker. My tag line lists some of my gear. I also have a couple of drawknives and a whole swag of spokeshaves. If any one has a good froe they are willing to part with, I am interested.

My chairs are still not up to the quality I would put my name to, but the latest is very close. BTW, I don't know the 152, though I do have a couple of 151s. What is it?

I've been holding off posting a comment because I've actually been wanting to change my avatar. But then again, I can't really be bothered... I'll save frequent profile changes for my Facebook.

Anyway, mine's a self-portrait in the guise of MC Burnt Ta Asch (a phonetic play on my name) from a work function powerpoint photo presentation I put together back in '04. (I was the whitest white guy ever to pretend to have aspirations of Rap/Hip Hop fame)
