Day 12- How you found out about blogging and why you made one
I’ve been building websites since back when I was in primary school playing around with geocities websites (ah, those were the days ;-) I set up jethrocarr.com back in 2006 which turned into a blog the following year and finally … Continue reading

Day 11- Another picture of you and your friends
I find these hard, I have too many photos of other people without myself in them. However there was a recent one taken at @mojooldbank with a bunch of twitter friends: So from the back, myself, the horribly cute couple … Continue reading
Day 10- Songs you listen to when you are Happy, Sad, Bored, Hyped, Mad
I listen to a huge range of music, mostly thanks to a good upbringing and musical education by my dad – since before I could walk, we always had great music on in the background – electronica, rock, techno and … Continue reading

Day 09- Something you’re proud of in the past few days
This was a bit of a challange, I’ve had a rough month & week, so feeling a little down and hard to feel proud of that much. :-( On the plus side, I did sign several new customer agreements this … Continue reading
Day 08- Short term goals for this month and why
I have a number of goals for the next month or so, unfortunately not particularly exciting: Complete a couple tricky work projects I’ve been working on and get a new release out the door for a couple products. Pay off … Continue reading
Day 07- A picture of someone/something that has the biggest impact on you
This is a tricky one, there have been a lot of people who have had a great impact – friends, parents, colleagues, so I’ve chosen the event that had the biggest impact on me. This picture is from linux.conf.au 2006, … Continue reading

Day 06- Favourite super hero and why
I’m not a huge superhero fan, I tend to prefer heroes who are (somewhat) bound by the real world yet manage to prevail. However, I think if I have to choose one it’s going to be Ozymandias as of the … Continue reading
Day 05- A picture of somewhere you’ve been to
I’m not the biggest traveller, I tend to usually travel for work or conferences – typically at least once a year for linux.conf.au. It was tricky to find a photo at first, most of what I have taken overseas is … Continue reading
Deep fried deliciousness: Fisherman’s Plate at Bond St
Whilst I may be a vegetarian, I’ve certainly never claimed to be a *healthy* vegetarian. Its actually surprisingly easy to have an unhealthy diet, such as too much sugar or junk food to counteract the lack of unhealthy fatty meat-based … Continue reading

Day 04- A habit that you wish you didn’t have
I have so many habits/attributes I wish I didn’t have, I don’t know where to begin… I tend to often over-analyse situations and get all worked up over stuff. I’m slightly egotistical or even narcissistic at times, which I hate … Continue reading
