I'm Me

I'm Andrew Ruthven, I live in Wellington, New Zealand with Susanne, our daughter Brooke, our two sons Adam & Ben and our cat Molly, our dog Hunter and our rabbit Bob.

My home email address is:

perl -e 'print join("@", "andrew", join(".", "etc", "gen", "nz")) . "\n"'

(I already get enough spam... I figure most of the spambots won't go running arbitary Perl code.)

My interests seem to revolve around sailing (I crewed on Blurred Image for two years, when the owner returned from overseas and decided he wanted to to live on her I moved to Gucci (along with some of the other crew from Blurred) where I've crewed since), dancing (mostly Ceroc with a bit of Swing thrown in), programming, photography (some snapshots are online from a trip to the South Island of New Zealand), movies and hanging out at hip cafes. Not necessarily in that order.

My preferred operating system is Debian GNU/Linux.

For those that are interested in what I've been up to over the past few years, here's my CV.

My GPG key is available over there. My finger print is:
