Andrew Peters’ Blog

I’m excited to announce Jeremy Boyd, John-Daniel Trask and myself have decided to go it alone and start a new company called Mindscape.

Watch this space :-)

Update: Our site is up :-)

So by now you should know the drill - careof(JD):

1. I got into computers quite late, starting only at ‘varsity. At school I was pretty sports mad. In my final year I was captain of basketball, rowing and waterpolo.
2. I’ve used approximately fiveof my nine lives. The first was when I was 6 and fell head first through a glass cabinet. I still have a long scar just 5mm above my eye - whew! More recently I slid about 200 metres down ice on My Ruapehu whilst skiing somehow managing to bisect various rocks jutting out around me.
3. I live with my lovely wife, Kara and our two pooches, Ninja and Rosie. My wife’s parents live in Johannesburg and are in the game lodge industry. They own Idube Private Game Reserve and Lukimbi Safari Lodge. We got married at Lukimbi in the bush. (see photos)
4. I occasionally contribute to open-source projects. So far, I’ve had patches accepted into RoR an Castle.
5. For the last two NZ Tech Eds, I’ve been responsible for developing the Hands on Labs launcher application. It was very cool last year to see the labs full of eager punters all using my app. :-)

Ok, so as I’m such a laggard and everyone I know (with a blog) has already been tagged, I will just have to be leaf-node in the meme-tree.
