A little about me...

I am a geek (and proud of it =). I work in Linux kernel development for Ozlabs, Linux Technology Centre, IBM Australia. I've been an IBMer since 1997, although an Ozlabbian only since mid 2004. I am really lucky to work with some truly amazing people.

I am COMPLETELY ADDICTED TO SECOND LIFE

Everyone who knows me also knows I love Chris Yeoh!

I'm a vocalist in a blues/rock band called The Taken. I really love my music, and have rather eclectic tastes.

I'm proudly owned by two wonderful (yet psychotic) cats, Gizzy and Pipe.

Not many people know it, but I actually am painfully shy.

The name "somewoman" comes from the pool ladder (as in 8-ball, snooker, etc) at work. We have a list of magnetic words on the fridge - mostly geek words - from which we were required to select a few to make something interesting... As the only woman in the group, I ended up with the words "some" and "woman" - thus, somewoman... This website is a dare! =) I'm (almost) always up for a dare...........

I never thought I'd have a blog because I really never thought of myself as someone interesting enough to be read - I guess we'll see how accurate that turns out to be. I shall attempt to update regularly! Honest! =)
