Richard's Rant

I have been tagged by the meme challenge!!!!! ARGGGGHHHHH!!!

I have been dreading this for a while now. I was hoping that my silence and absence of postings would protect me from revealing some things that not many people know about me. Alas, I have been tagged in the Tech Meme challenge by a good friend of mine, VSTS Guru and all-round good guy, Anthony Borton in the meme challenge.

Seems as how I have had the “honour” of being tagged, here are a few tidbits of info that most would not know:

1.       I still play the guitar and once belonged to a garage band (though we were never very good. I failed the vocal audition which says a lot about my signing voice)

2.       I spent 2 months in Germany in 1989/1990 and saw the Berlin Wall come down on New Years Eve of 1989. Very awesome experience

3.       I have a Bachelor of Science in Genetics, Microbiology, and Biological Science from Griffith University which I got in 1991. (IT is my second career)

4.       My current conservative hair style was not always so conservative. I used to have really long hair, and used to “headbang” to heavy metal (AC/DC, Led Zeppelin)

5.       My favourite ever music artist is Duran Duran (very sad, I know. I even went to see them when they came out a few years ago)

There are other, even more embarrassing things, but those are only revealed over a lot of alcohol. So there you go. Some embarrassing, some interesting.
