San Francisco is a city of immense contrast. I’m glad to report that the experiment’s going pretty well so far. Part of the motivation was to shake things up from a cruisy life in Sydney and experience new things.
Part of the motivation was proving to myself that I could make it on my own: prove myself worthy in the eyes of my peers, be social enough to make genuine friends here who I cared about and who cared about me, living on my own and simply paying the rent. It has been a truly wonderful experience: making new friends, learning a new culture that’s both significantly but subtly different, and doing it all without my family nearby, who’ve been my anchor and support for the past three decades. The fourth stage was tearing myself away from that fairly sheltered life and my emotional base, and moving to San Francisco. The third stage was my twenties: an introduction to university, Linux, coding, the Mac, Haskell, research conferences, industry conferences, the working life, and balancing it all with healthy doses of relaxation, food and the beautiful world that Sydney had to offer.

The second stage was the PC demoscene, where I grew interested in many things that I love today about computing: art, music, and my first experience with a community and culture that you could love and immerse yourself in.
The first stage was being a youngling at primary school: I don’t remember much from there except that I fantasised about handball being an olympic sport. I feel like there’s been four stages to my life.
