296 University academic and researcher into positive approaches to men's health, particularly Indigenous male health (Australia) based on a social model, rather than merely a bio-medical model of health.
My doctoral work was a text-based exploration of survival among Australians on the Burma side of the Burma-Siam Railway during World War Two.
I am interested in Health 2.0 (web-based social interactions relating to health education and community participation) and the moral geographies of 'property' as it relates to the distribution, sharing/control and use of resources required to support healthy persons and populations.
A former radiotelegrapher and electronics technician, I am a seven year veteran of the US Navy.
I have been married to the same person for more than three decades; we have three adult children who are all artists and reasonably sane.
The user name (Durtal) is a literary allusion that reveals a great deal about me.
"The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt." John Philpot Curran (Dublin, 1750-1817), in a speech to the Privy Council on 10 July 1790.
There is more than one way to @verb a cat.
If the front door is locked, they've probably left the back door wide open.

Where and how to start learning Perl
(Clustered in potential order of introduction to subject for teaching & research purposes; more traditional Perl texts to be listed later. Please note that I am no expert in this area. As a department head, I am upgrading my own skill sets in preparation for proposing a major redeployment of our teaching and research programs over the next three years to get them more thoroughly into the 21st Century. This is just one area of concern.)
