OT: 5 Meme
Adam Cogan tagged me in the "5 things that most people don't know about me" meme that's going around - thanks Adam...I was feeling left out :-(
So here is 5 random things that most people would not know about me:
- I wanted to be an Air Force pilot when I was a kid - an eye test when I was 12 pretty much killed that idea (I remember hearing from a career counsellor "You could still be a navigator", and almost crying again). After that, I had no idea what I wanted to do, right up to starting Uni.
- I have an Education degree from Monash - it's always been one of my plans to teach computing at high school, TAFE and eventually university level. I just want to make sure I've got something to teach first! I really only applied for teaching because one of my Year 12 teachers made an offhand comment that I'd make a good teacher.
- I am *not* the Tom Williams that won "Dancing With The Stars" (a TV show on Channel 7 here in Australia) two years ago - just in case you were wondering :-)
- I'm the oldest of 4 boys - my Mum still claims to this day that she always wanted 4 sons (well, she got 'em). Since I never had a sister, there's still a lot I don't know about girls! (Maybe *that's* the little known fact I should publish)
- The most boring job I ever had was working on a computer help desk - my job description was "sit and wait until someone needs help", which left a lot of time for officially sanctioned & approved web surfing; however, even that got boring and in the end I'd take in a book to read while I was at work.
Here's 5 people I'd like to know more about (whether or not they tell me is up to them!):
Darren Gosbell at Random Procrastination
Karl Kopp at Karls Blog
Tejas Patel at Software and Tools
Nirav Patel at CodeLake
Greg Linwood at Transaction Blog
