Martin
Martin is an SysAdmin with all the personality defects which that brings, the power-crazed gleam in his eye gives him away.
Recently, by some twist of fate, he ended up running a team of developers who were developing Java applications, he now totally agrees with the saying that managing developers is like herding cats. Agile methodologies such as Extreme Programming are the order of the day. Still if he coded, it'd just be Extremely Slow Programming.
In his spare time, he runs far too many systems for one person. His home network consists of Windows, Linux and even an I-Mac running OSX. He is now a complete convert to Wireless Networking. I have recently built my first Linux Cluster using the Mosix kernel extensions; it was much too easy and I think I'll have a play with SSI clusters next.
As well playing with computers, he plays with digital photography, owning both an Nikon Coolpix 5000 and an Olympus E100RS. You can find examples of his work in the Pictures section of this website.
He also reads far too much and is far too curious for his own good; he appears to have never grown out of the 'Why?' stage of his life.
Oh yes, and he's a devoted father to his little girl Meggie and a devoted husband to Helen. He also thinks that he's a pretty good cook!
