| Introduction | Raised in outport Newfoundland in a town of 65 people, I pursued a post secondary diploma in Information Technology out of High School. Graduating into the recession of the early 80s, with a student loan at an interest rate of 14%, with a diploma, but no clue how to apply for a job or contacts to rely on, led me back home, and eventually into the hotel business. Eventually tiring of a job I didn’t like, I made the decision to go back to school, and moved to Nova Scotia and back into the career I really do love, a software developer, currently specializing in Python. I’ve never lost my love of home, and will always be a country boy no matter how long I live in the city. Keeping those memories alive, and sharing them with those who may be interested led me to start blogging on https://randomisland.ca. That is a spot for my recollections, stories, and re-tellings of others I’ve heard from back home on Random Island, NL. I am interested in nearly everything from ancient history to modern gadgets. Always curious about walks of life and how people live and lived. The journey is the destination, learning never ends, and I’ll never grow old if I never grow up. |
