I was tagged by Ken Guest to share seven random/weird things about myself.

1. Apparently I first met my husband at Linux Conf Au, 2001 (Jan 2001) but I only remember meeting him for the first time at the Sydney Linux User Group meetings. We got to know each other over many events over the next six plus months, however we didn't go on our first date until July 2001, Jan hired a car and we drove 300km away from Sydney, to a cocktail party in Canberra, ACT
2. I first used PHP to write the software for my Thesis, I wrote a web based application for children to collaborate ideas and come up with an invention in small groups to then present to the whole class. I picked PHP at random, ignoring languages I already knew and had used during my degree. I've pretty much worked with it ever since
3. I sometimes wear a communicator while we're watching Star Trek - my favourite series is Voyager
4. I'm a natural blonde, something a lot of people I've met in the last year don't know or realise, because I dye my hair dark now
5. My hobbies include Travel, Reading (mostly Fantasy), Photography and Scrapbooking, I'm active in the Irish paper crafting scene
6. I love the outdoors Camping, Swimming, Fishing but I don't do them since moving to Europe at all, I would rather live in the countryside, except I love the events and activities that happen in cities.
7. I once, as part of a small team, had to count the lightbulbs in the whole of our university, UNSW, this included monitors and fax machines, it was to figure out how many were left on when no one was inside, most were on.

Tagging Others I'm going to wuss out with just three people, because I'm not really into this sort of thing, it was a compliment to get tagged by Ken though, and has been pretty interesting getting to know a bit more about the developers whose blogs I read.

• Laura Czajkowski - She's organising OSSBarCamp here which should be a great event - I'm trying to help her and she always deserves a shout out!.
• Stella Power - First other PHP chick I heard about here in Ireland, and I'm curious to learn more about her
• Gita Malinovska - I find her blog posts interesting because she's new to running her own business, and bettering herself daily, by learning ways to improve herself and the business. I have a goal to go back to working for myself some day.
