I have been known as alien since ’82 and alien8 came about sometime in the early 90’s.
 
I work within the information security and networking industries  and my current employer is involved with high speed network processors and other fun things.
 
I’m *really* impressed with the Strida foldup bike that I have - click on the Strida link at the top of the page.
 
my blog now lives elsewhere and is friends only I’m afraid - please join livejournal and poke me there to be added to the access list.
