Bristol, England What did you want to be when you grew up? A physics professor :) How did you end up here? I started work as a software engineer with a company in the UK, and subsequently transferred with them to Boston. I then got a job with Oracle in Redwood Shores and moved to the San Francisco area. What one thing would you do differently if you had the chance? Get a PhD, but I may do that anyway in the not too distant future. Probably the area of research would be quantum computing. Where is your favorite place in the world? Bristol, England, but I also like San Francisco What is your favorite pastime activity? Reading (various subjects, including science, fantasy, and science-fiction). I also enjoy running and swimming. If you could perform with a band, which band would it be? Nirvana If you could play any movie role, which role would it be? Indiana Jones :) If you could write any book (other than a technical book), what would the title be? I've actually written a screenplay, entitled "The Legend of Druathor", which is a fantasy story; the screenplay hasn't yet become an actual movie though :( I've also written outlines for several science-fiction screenplays.     » TOP		IN THIS ISSUE:   » Feature: Oracle Database 11g SQL » Welcome New Members from Collaborate 2008 » Save 40% on The Featured Title » Save 40% on The Bonus Title » Sneak Preview » About the Author » Author Interview
