I'm a junior (6 years+) software developer, working in C++ and in Java, and now spending a lot of my time with Python.
My interests are sort of being compiled/collected on my del.icio.us pages and on stumbleupon... two good examples of SocialSoftware.
I'm a South African, but home for a little while is in Algiers. Pictures from my stay here, and the odd bit of travel, can be found on my flickr page .. there's also an almost functioning weblog
