Bio:
26(ish), live in Randwick, East of Sydney,
follower of Jesus, married to Claire (without a doubt my "better half")
which has the benefit of living with a physio. PhD student in Composites
at UNSW. Skater. Owner of psychotic black death cat.
Wearer
of pants (often) and founding & retiring president (read: Figurehead
Looney) of UNSW Slarken society (1995 -
1997~ish).
So there you go.
Some lunatic (...okay, it was Ferlito)
set up a page
that catalogues all my signatures from the Slarken mailing list. Take a
look if you're
a) Bored
b) Clinically deranged
Brewing:
The Brewing Room in our old Denistone
house.
From 1996 - 98 this was the thriving centre of the Little Black Cat
brewery, producing such fine beverages as:
Grind City Bitter
Rice Draught (brewed
Dutch style with rice)
Haitzler (a 9% alc.
Pilsner, named after Raster's intense German father)
Calompy-Bomp Dark Ale (Claire commissioned that one)
Dendrite Bitter and
Pond Scum Cider (with
a jelly frog in every bottle) - the name was from a quote from "Amazon
Women on the Moon". Best not to ask.
The Little Black Cat Brewery has been recommissioned mid 2001- centre
of operations initially in Hornsby, temporarily in Sth Turramurra, but
now in Randwick. Some of the beverages to date:
Hebblethwaite ginger
beer
Yatala mid-strength lager
(in recognition of my tour of the CUB brewery at Yatala, QLD).
Pennard Ale, a full-bodied
English style ale in recognition of Pennard
Castle, Sth Wales.
Uberwald pilsner
Amersfoort dutch-style lager (Dad's hometown)
The LBCB is also be producing mead.
Dry Mead and
Zadarnowski - sweeter mead in the Polish tradition, in recognition
of Pat, who introduced me to the whole
mead thing.
Miscellaneous Pictures:
Here is an amusing pic from when I was writing
my honours thesis............ three weeks I would rather forget. Those
Uzbeks know how to make good hats.
Take a look at the ultra-stylish bedroom
of the Denistone house ("Duffhame"). Our new house has nowhere for my swords.
Picture of a ferret?
If you're wondering about the significance of the ferret, I spent most
of my first year lectures with horms compiling
a list of small furry animals. Ever since, I have had a strong obsession
with stoats, ferrets and meerkats.
That is all. Nothing to see here. Move along now.
Oh, alright, here's a picture of me with Trevor:
The chicks dig it.
