Hey, My name is Aidan Cornelius-Bell. I am presently 17, born 8th Febuary 1993. I reside in Adelaide, Australia.

So that puurddy person over there, That’s me. Clearly, I’m not referring to the strange person staring through your window (Or am I?).

Officially my job title is Executive Director for Beaconsfield IT but really, if you think about it (not that you want to) I’m more of a full time student than anything else. I attend TAFE SA and am half way through a Certificate IV. I have finished up to year 10 (isn’t that great) in normal school. Next year at some point I have plans to either travel to UAE or attend University here up to Masters, then travel some more and then get a PhD.

Due to recent lame-ness I’be been required to post my ACTUAL qualifications on here. So here they are:

  • Cisco Discovery (SA TSOF)
  • Microsoft Server Administration (SA TSOF)
  • Microsoft Desktop Software (SA TSOF)
  • Certificate II in Information Technology (via ByPass)
  • Certificate III in Information Technology – Hardware (As part of CIV)
  • PART Certificate IV Programming | PART Certificate IV Web Design (Making a whole Cert IV)

My Abilities – (Again recent lame-ness):

  • PHP (4/5)
  • MySQL (3/4/5)
  • General Linux Operation
  • Hardware & Software Setups
  • C#.net (Very Basic Stuff)
  • Visual Basic.net (Fairly advanced stuff)
  • Ruby (~Learning~)
  • Rails (~Good-Grasp~)
  • Ruby on Rails

Look there’s just so much I’d be here all month writing stuff I know from vague -sorta-knowing- to I KNOW THAT PICK ME!

Now that I have spewed out my life plan so far I will go through the basics. I’m a Music and Tech obsessionist better known as a nerd/geek. I’ve been breaking computers since I was just under 3 years of age. I built my first computer at 6, made my first circuit board at 7 and made my first simple OS at 9. My first fully built gaming rig was complete at 11. My current machine has been rebuilt the total of 16 times.

During the day I hang out in the area you see just there to the right. That is my office/lab/evil-creation-zone. No I’m not a basement or attic dweller, that’s my living area.

And the list goes on!

Besides my obsession with technology and music, I am also a proud Cat & Dog owner. My dog Ziggi is 8 and my cat Cayleigh (I.E. Mr. Kiddy — Its a female cat) is one. I also like(d) to travel a lot, I’ve recently become less inclined to travel but I still enjoy the occasional holiday. Most recently we went to New Zealand for a teaching with IT conference called ULearn. Mum, Deb, Ryan and myself went together.

Changing topic quickly, mid page, so as to cover as much ground as possible in a short time. I have been asked about my tastes in music so here they are…

  • Anything!
  • Classical
  • Techno (not doof doof)
  • late 20’s early 30’s pop
  • (New and Old) Rock
  • Whats now called Alternative
  • Torley
  • Paramore
  • Apocalyptica

Look really, Music is all good. Its different for different people but I like a bit of everything.

Computer Software wise:

I am presently tethered to Windows for study but my normal load consists of Debian (NOT UBUNTU) with 85% free software (not drivers that’s too hard). For web design and development (both Windows and Mac) I use Adobe CS4 Web Design Premium. I’m currently running Windows 7, I find its faster than vista but still not as good as Linux :P .
