About Matt

I will tell you a little about myself here, the things I like to do, online and offline, the places I like to go, online and offline and I will let you in on some of the people I know as we go through.

Some of the things I enjoy include driving, online and offline (do you see a pattern emerging?), writing and telling stories, you guessed it, online and offline, playing with computers (this one is online, obviously….. :) ) and teaching.

Computers
Next is computers.  I love playing with computers, software, automating things and the internet!  I learnt how to write web pages in HTML using notepad when we got our first computer in 1998.  I actually read and learnt how to do it at work making the section web page by accident, then going on to create the whole unit’s website.  I am now starting to organise myself so I can make use and profit from my hobby.  I plan on starting to create websites for people and actually get paid for it….if you need one just email me with what you want and I will quote you.  I will have a schedule of fees once I work out the time involved and what I am willing to offer for now.  I will make a page dedicated to this side of things soon….keep checking it won’t be long.

Driving
Next is the driving….Firstly, I love to drive in the dirt and get sideways, a pastime that a friend who I will name Chickenman showed me.  Now I have 5 acres I have my own little track of sorts that I can go and blast off some pent up energy if I want to…..WOOOHOOO!   I have some video on facebook.

Chickenman and I used to do the motorkhana and khanacross scene in Sydney when we lived there together.  For those that don’t know what they are, you are missing out!!!….seriously if you want to know, visit these links….MOTORKHANAKHANACROSS

Ok I mentioned driving online ……LFS and MNR are two TLA’s associated with driving online.  The team I am a part of, Oz Bee-R.  LFS meaning Live For Speed, the best driving simulator I have ever tried and MNR meaning Monday Night Racing, the most fun you can have starting the week off!

Driving is one of my caves, and if you have ever read Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus you will now what I mean by a cave…..Men need them!

Teaching

To start with we will go in reverse.  I love teaching stuff that I know to those that are interested in learning.  This includes teaching the kids the right values (isn’t that a set of ongoing lessons kids), stuff about computers including using software, wiring things up to make them do cool things, the stuff I know at work and get to share my experiences and knowledge with others and learn from others as well.

There is a saying I heard a long time ago that I love and it relates to teaching, or more specifically, what you get out of teaching. The saying goes “In teaching is learning”.  From that I have learnt that while you may know how to do something and are sharing that knowledge with someone, it is not unusual to have that person teach you another way, sometimes by accident, meaning you never fully learn something and there is always more to learn and teaching gives you that avenue to learn more.  I guess I love learning and that is why I love teaching….how’s that for finding out a bit about myself on the go.

Writing
Lastly, I really enjoy writing and sharing experiences.  In case you couldn’t tell I seem to ramble on a bit sometimes.  Julie keeps on pushing me to write a novel or children stories.  I actually started to write a story in Townsville with Julie’s help, and soon enough I will finish it.  Writing is something I find relaxing, even though I get into a frenzy doing it sometimes……lol
