the corner office

My name is Colin Pretorius. I'm a won't-get-a-haircut-I-just-won't-dammit thirty-something South African, living in the UK with my wife, Ronwen. My blog is equal parts a tech blog, a personal journal, and a soapbox for me to rant about whatever takes my fancy.

In my dark and distant past I was a Chartered Accountant (still am, just not uh, practicing), but since the late 90s I've been a software developer, starting out with Lotus Notes and Domino, and these days working with Java. I recently got my BSc in Computer Science, and I'm currently studying for my Honours degree. I get myself bogged down with side projects in C and C++ from time to time, and I've been a devoted Linux newbie for about 6 years.

As for politics, religion, everything else, you're best off just diving in and reading the blog.
