I foresee a lot of document-reading in my near future, and a good amount of meeting-having in a little while. Hopefully this means I can effect more good at scale. We'll see.

@lightweight Interesting fellow. Knows the bush well. Occasional french horn for the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra, amongst other things.
I first met him when we were both fairly young - his father and mine were both in the Christchurch TRS-80 Users' Group.
