UCC members are highly sought after in the Real World(tm).
Many have found the skills they learnt at UCC remain useful.
-
Peter Cooper [COM] is currently working as a freelance security guy
for some unnamed - but presumably evil - multinationals in Europe.
He has seen amazing things, including key escrow datastores erased to get
another Quake server running...
-
David Bennett [DDT] (UCCan since 1988) is currently working professionaly in
Seattle. He is also still running the
Discworld MUD.
-
Quinn "The Eskimo!" [JJQ] is currently serving a 6 year sentence as a
bonded slave of Apple Computer, Inc. He works in Developer Technical
Support (the coolest group in Apple, of course), answering questions
from third party software developers on hard topics such as networking, disk
drivers and foreign file systems. His home page:
<http://www.quinn.echidna.id.au/Quinn/WWW/>
is hosted on a machine in the US, despite it's ".au" domain name, a fact
of which he's inexplicably proud.
-
Peter N Lewis [PNL], one third part of The Organism [JPQ], founded a Mac
Internet Software Company long before the Internet was well known.
Being at the front of the wave is useful, but now he finds it difficult to
escape.
-
David Luyer [DJL] (UCCan since
1994) worked for UWA UCS for quite some time before leaving the state to go to
Sydney, which he quickly realised was a mistake and escaped down to Melbourne. Rumour
has it that he is now in the US, working for a search
engine company you may have heard of.
-
The University Computer Club regrets to inform of the death of our member
and friend, Heath Loveday (heath@), on January 12 2009. Our sympathy and consolation
is extended to his family. Heath will be missed by us all.
-
The University Computer Club would like to remember our friend Paul
Repacholi. Story-teller, guru of all things DEC and
provider of opinions to several generations of members. RIP, Prep.
Paul Repacholi
(1953―2007)
