Michael-John Turner, random geek

I'm originally from Cape Town, South Africa, but now living in Surrey. By day I work as an SAP consultant, attempting to use open source wherever I can. By night I play with real computers (no, PeeCees are not real computers) and hack on whatever itch needs to be scratched.

When it comes to Linux, Debian is my preferred distribution and I've been using it almost exclusively since 1997.
