Sharing Knowledge

I have reached an age where I feel I have enough knowledge to share with others, knowledge that is meaningful and has merit.  I have always been reluctant before this time, which is probably related to the age I was, and how I felt about my place in the world.

My main area of expertise is Information Technology, a field I have been employed in for over twenty years now.   It is definitely a field which has not stood still, even for a few minutes and the constant change is probably what keeps it fresh .  I cannot imagine being in a field in which I learned everything in a couple of years, and then relied on that knowledge for the rest of my career.

I will be focusing my efforts over the next year or so on a book I am writing which details all my experience in IT, and passes on the knowledge that I have gained in the many different places I have worked, both in Australia and Overseas as a contractor.

The work has been going on now for a month or so, and I have reached the 10,000 word mark, which is a nice landmark.  I have already created all the chapter headings, and will release some of it here as I get it polished and ready.

IT is not my only interest, although it is where I earn my keep!   I have a lifelong interest in Astronomy, Photography, Philosophy, Music especially: Steely Dan, Jamiroquai, Tool, and any other bands who fall into the same genre.   I have won prizes for both my photography and for my writing, although I do not do any of these things for that purpose.   However, it is nice to know that whatever you output is appreciated in some way.

I also enjoy reading a great deal, and will be creating some reviews for the books and music that I enjoy.

Thank you.
