A long term Microsoft TechNet subscriber abandoned by changes to their policies.

An occasional Linux user since the mid 90's but had no compelling reason to push it - until now!

Virologist, Social Worker and latterly a itinerant IT person managing Unix based payroll system and then involved in implementing a SAP based system. Moved on to large project management working in local government.

Now semi-retired am developing my interest in mathematics, machine learning and big data using Octave, Python and R with Gephi and Tulip Charts. Also looking carefully at MongoDB and Neo4j as well as more traditional MariaDB. Linux has finally arrived for me and I am slowly migrating my machines to Mint.
