A newly Released Technology

Andrew first discovered an interest in boolean logic when his mother carried him in her arms at just the right height to reach light switches as they passed through doorways. He was lucky enough to go to a school with an obsolete PDP/8e: switches, lights, core memory, paper tape, punched cards and all. He first started programming on a TRS-80 model 1 level I and the first computer he owned was a Commodore VIC-20.

He has been a computer gamer since the 1970s, a software developer since the 1980s, and a Linux user and contributor since version 1.0. He organised the LCA 2009 Gaming Miniconf, the LCA 2010 Open Day gaming demonstration and the gaming talk and demonstration at the Melbourne Software Freedom Day 2010 event.
