Welcome to my home page
Your quest for knowledge has brought you to a strange place...
Who I am, my professional and technical interests, some personal stuff.
I usually respond to the name Grenville, and can be emailed at gja@ureach.com
I'm working on a plan. It will be a good plan. I'll let you know once I've figured it out.
In the real world I look something like this
Being Associate Professor of Telecommunications Engineering, and Director of the Centre for Advanced Internet Architectures at Swinburne University of Technology (Melbourne, Australia)
Exploring the characteristics of next generation applications (such as real-time interactive games) and pondering their implications for IP access and backbone network architectures
This has involved learning to play QuakeIII Arena and Half Life
Running a QuakeIII Arena server and collecting usage statistics
Releasing server-side mod(s) and post-analysis tool(s) for gathering usage statistics
Analysing the server usage patterns
Program committee for NetGame2002
Jotting down my thoughts
"Quality of Service in IP Networks" [Amazon.com, Fatbrain.com, Barnes&Noble]
Buying just bandwidth from your service provider is short-sighted
Messing around with low-cost, multi-platform home networking
Building a mixed Apple, Windows & FreeBSD 802.11b wireless LAN
Using StarOffice as an alternative to MicrosoftOffice under Windows or FreeBSD
With Samba a FreeBSD box becomes a free Win9x/NT file server on my home LAN

Selected public public talks/presentations
Some previous work history
(Everyone else is putting up personal stuff, so I just had to do it too. I felt compelled.)

Cars I've enjoyed...
I lived in New Jersey for a few years, and then moved to California (the Silicon Valley area, to be exact). NJ is cold, Silicon Valley is stupidly expensive. Where next, I wonder....
I drink hot tea, I don't drink coffee. I think Sam Adams is beer, and Budweiser is... not
Naturally, I pretend to know the difference between Coke and Pepsi
For all those other questions, here's a site with lots of information on Australia
