G'Day 👋

I'm Alec, an Australian/British computer geek, who's been in IT a long time. I've done many IT related jobs, and even been a manager for a while before running back to technology as a developer advocate.

These days I am semi retired and support the seniors in my community with their IT needs (mainly cyber security).

  • 😄 Pronouns: He/Him/Grumpy
  • ⌨️ Preferred Progamming Language: Go and Python, but I use several others
  • 📖 Currently writing a book "Staying Safe Online" for Australian seniors. More info at https://alecthegeek.tech/securitybook/
  • 🔭 I like presenting tutorials, for example a talk about using Git from PowerShell
  • 🌏 Located in Melbourne Australia
  • 💻 First Computer Program written on ICL 2904 mainframe in 1978 using MAXIMOP BASIC. No "Hello World" for me, it printed the multiplication tabels from 2 to 12, but I only knew about IF and GOTO flow control statements.
