About Myself

Details:

  • I am a 22 year old PhD student studying at the University of Waikato in Computer Science.
  • Currently residing in Hamilton, New Zealand with my girlfriend in a 2 bedroom flat.
  • Originally from Paeroa, New Zealand from a farm which I dread.
  • Enjoy computers, games, coding and general geeky activities. Though I don’t consider myself an über-geek. However, I do not enjoy HTML and CSS coding, hence why I’m letting my girlfriend (and WordPress) do the work.
  • Train in Taekidokai, a martial art based on Taekwondo, Karate and Aikido. I am a black belt.
  • Physically, I’m a behemoth, standing at 6′ 6″ (just under 2m/door frames) with long dark brown hair.
  • Dress mostly in black, metal shirts and jeans due to my love for the genre. And I don’t feel comfortable in a nancy polo shirt or anything bright.
  • As previously stated, I love metal music. It sounds so good in comparison to other genres. I’m even looking at living in metal central – Scandinavia once I’m set for the world.
  • Been dating my girlfriend (see her website) since July 2007. Mostly good times to be had. Can’t complain (with regards to the rest of the female population) and don’t think any girl would be better.
  • Other than this site, my two other online identities (that I know of) are at Last.fm and on Facebook
  • Prefer to use a bulleted list rather than a spiel when writing certain things that are better bulleted.
