Here it is - "about ME", honest and in all its boring (to others) detail...

FYI I am not hunchback, the photo taken was where I was bending down to work on a computer and looked up at the camera but as I am phot allergenic and have Aspergers, this is (really) the best photo I could find of me, I usually run and hide or look away when I see a camera !

Favorite Movie: The Net (the original with Sandra Bullock) even though they show IP addresses with octets that cant exist ie. > 255 which might be a mistake or deliberate so viewers don't try hacking the IP addresses shown in the movie and I know much of it is fake and a bit "hollywood", I like the premise of the movie.

Like many of my colleagues in IT, I have Asperger's and as a result I am slightly obsessed with tiny details others don't notice and I have a very narrow field of interests. I am super critical of myself and I have extremely high standards. I also have OTD which I recently found out was a real thing called "Outline Tracing Disorder" where I trace the outline of stuff I am looking at either with my eyes or my finger (it can be a bit strange for those I am looking at when I look through them while my eyes trace their outline LOL !).

I turned my hobby into a business and now in my free time I write code to help manage my business and actually do not have any other interests. The idea of doing something that doesn't result in building or fixing or designing something physical or with code is to me, not at all interesting and a waste of time IMHO. I have reduced my work hours from ~98 to about 80 hours per week as I am getting too old to work 14 hour days. In my "free" time (after my 8 hour work day), I do programming to help manage the business and I couldn't imagine doing anything else. To me, coding is the ultimate indulgence, some like tropical holidays, I get excited when we close for public holidays as I can spend several straight days coding.

My ideal vacation is having a few weeks to myself without customers or staff interruptions where I can work on the code I use to run my business. I estimate I have about 250,000 lines of code in my "system" (PHP, jQuery, CSS / HTML) and as I am critical of myself and my work, I have to keep re-designing sections of my system each time I find a better way of doing something I write the whole function again so my system is a work in progress and will never be complete.

I tried marriage a few years back but it was not for me and while I liked being able to help and provide for others and have my step-kids call me dad and loved helping them with stuff, I didn't like sharing my personal space with others.

So, that's me, think what you want,I am happy (except when I am stressing about a tech problem). Sorry if this "about me" was not what you were expecting but hey, I am just being honest :)
