When I was young, I dream to have a computer... Oric-1, ZX-81, etc. I finally have my first one when Atari released it Atari 520 STF... I started to use GFABasic, a powerfull basic language, but when I have had the possibility to work on network technologies, I was very interested and became to learn about protocols, tools, equipments (Cisco, Juniper, HP...) and of course, I was concerned by security. Then I began to learn security technics... when I have to build my house : house automation was not popular but my dream was to have this kind of house... I learnt house automation protocol and wrote some codes to use it with a computer...
I'm a geek, and proud to be one :)
