I live in Ottawa, Ontario,Montreal, Quebec, Canada. I do computer stuff, specifically various things related to Linux. I am a maintainer for ieee1394 (sometimes known as FireWire but that's a trademark of Apple so we can't call it that) in the Linux kernel and am slowly but surely writing a driver for the PreSonus Firestation.

I'm a fairly active cyclist. I bike almost everywhere, even in the winter, and own 5 1/2 bicycles. In 2000, I biked across Canada - 10000km in 3 months. I moved to my current apartment entirely by human power. I also go rock climbing (gym year round, outdoors in the summer.) Occasionally I go canoeing, skiing, or hiking.

I like beer, especially good beer consumed with friends, and whisky, with or without the e. Also live music. Fortunately, these things can often be found in the same places.

I used to live in St. John's, Newfoundland, but left to go to Crazy Go Nuts University in Kingston, Ontario. Newfoundland is a great place but I've grown to appreciate the variety of life found only in bigger cities. Ottawa seems to strike a nice balance between "interesting things happening" and "small enough to be liveable."
