Like the old song from
War goes…Cisco Kid was a friend of mine. I took that nick as I
was leaving a previous job to work at Cisco Systems, one of the
engineers said that to me as I walked out the door. Anybody that
doesn’t know that song is probably half my age, and that is most likely
since I am 47. I work at Cisco as a manufacturing engineer, so
please don’t ask me networking questions, but feel free to buy Cisco
products.
I also have two kids, Paul, aged 12, and Sara, aged 16, and yes, I do
have a gun license and a collection of samurai swords. Adding to
the household is my wife and a Beagle named Princess. We all live
in the west end of Ottawa, having moved from Arnprior (pop. 7500),
otherwise known as Armpit. It was quite a shock moving to a small
city after having lived in Montreal for 25 years. The 70’s and
80’s in Montreal were quite a time to grow up in one of the biggest
party towns in Canada.
Anyway, enough old history. These days I hang out on IRC, MSN,
and sometimes Yahoo IM. If you ask me ASL I will ignore you,
better learn the art of conversation. If you ask for my picture,
you will likely get the one below.
It really works for shock value, and is sure to deter anybody. I
have lots of hobbies, working on my HO scale trainset in the basement,
doing color and b/w photography, building scale models, and reading
books. Working for Cisco has involved lots of traveling to places
such as Texas and California, and it gives me the opportunity to take
pictures of different places. This is one of the perks of
travelling besides buying interesting souvenirs (swords, tequila, doors
for my car). I never did get to bring home a pair of longhorns
for the car, pity. I also enjoy a good cigar once in a while,
with the occasional drink or wine.
So if you want to chat and shoot the shit, go ahead and message me.
