I spent almost 18 years working for the Australian Bureau of Meteorology.
Most of this time was spent bouncing around the Australian Outback in four wheel drive vehicles installing and maintaining remote Automatic Weather Stations. Not a computer to be seen :) In 1995 I discovered the internet, and that was the beginning of the end of my career in meteorology :) I eventually worked up the nerve in 1999 to chuck it in, so I resigned and went looking for a job in IT. Found a position with an IT company based in Sydney, installing broadband solutions in five star hotels. This eventually led to a relocation to Singapore, where I've been for the past 3.5 years. These days I manage a Network Operations Centre, looking after a network of around 800 servers spread all over the globe. It's fun :) As far as Perl and programming goes, I'd have to say I'm just an enthusiast. Although it's not really my job, I love finding ways to use Perl in our workplace for all sorts of stuff.
