intro and review.

[Sean Dwyer]

While I await admission into the catalogue and shove armfuls of past posts
into my mouth, I'll post an intro. 

But first, I'll clear up the matter of review subject: I'll take on Hermione
Granger. My special subject is insufferable know-it-alls.

Some of you have met me on TOC, but my intro there was frankly embarrassing so
I hope to remedy that here.

* Name: Sean Dwyer
Well actually my first name is Anthony but my mother was somehow convinced by
a nurse that calling me Sean Anthony Dwyer would make the letters SAD and that
wouldn't do. So it took another 17 years before I dropped the Anthony.

* Nicks: ewe2. It's always been that. I made up the nick as a bad joke and it
haunts me to this day. My previous attempt was boing. Noone seems to want to help.

* Age: 41

* Family: dotted around Australia. 

* Home: Bendigo, central Victoria, fun capital of Australia.

* Birthday/PoB: 20th July, in Melbourne.

* Education/Job/Role:
Currently fulltime carer and tenant of charge, which is
handy. Also part-time admin of the network for a support org, so I get to fix
computers and manage the website.

* First HP Contact:
Heard about this phenomenon from friendly local booksellers
where I spend way too much money, could only pick up PoA and absolutely
*demanded* that PS, CoS and GoF be delivered posthaste. Was 2nd in line for
OotP and intend to be 1st in line for HBP.

* Extent of Potter Obsession:
Just when I think it's gone away it comes back
sevenfold. This is from a diehard Tolkien fan, so you can imagine the shock.

* Other interests/activities:
computers, reading about computers, reading
anything, playing and creating music, creating pictures and looking at them,
walking, movies, cryptography, programming, Mayan calendars, and a small dog
called Snowy.

* Current/recent reading:
biography of Eisenhower by Stephen Ambrose, TCP/IP
Illustrated (Vol 1) by W. Richard Stevens, Introduction to Algorithms by
various worthy incomprehensible math geeks, and I just finished the last
volume of the Baroque Cycle by Neal Stephenson.

* Current/recent listening:
I've rediscovered a They Might Be Giants album
called Apollo 18 which is my new favourite TMBG album after Flood. I'm
beginning to recover from The Fat Of The Land by Prodigy (high rotation), and
MishMash! by Regurgitator. Have recently begun seriously converting my CD
collection to binary form, and so I've revisted Brian Eno, The Beatles,
Talking Heads, and XTC to name a few.

* Current/recent viewing:
The Corporation DVD, the latest (series V) Red Dwarf
DVD, naturally the latest LoTR extended DVD, and I'm currently in negotiation
for series 2 of Blakes 7 from a fellow blakes7 mailing-list member.


It is an honour to join you lunatics.
