[edit] About Me

My stress level!
My stress level!

IT Consultant working primarily in the Java EE environment for the past couple of years. I hold a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in computer science.

My main interests, outside computers obviously, are mountaineering and scrambling, motorcycles and chess. I have been hiking and scrambling in the Canadian Rockies for the past 20 years.

My highest Canadian ascent is Mount Athabasca at 3491m/11,453'. This is a snow/ice climb over glaciers with a brief stint of scrambling. Summitted on August 4, 2003.

My highest USA ascent is Flattop Mountain at 3,756m/12,324'. Just a strenous hike.

[edit] Nepal 2002

I visited Nepal in 2002 where I summitted Kala Patar (5545m/18,192') in mid October. Unbelievable views of Mount Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse and Pumori. A few days later, I climbed Imja Tse (Island Peak) (6106m/20,033').

Along the way, I got to see a lot more big mountains such as: Ama Dablam, Cholatse, Kangtega, Khumbila, Kongde Ri, Kusum Kangguru, Makalu, Lobuche East, Tawoche, Thamserku

For future trips, I'm looking at Aconcagua and Kilimanjaro.

Interested in climbing (non-technical) Kilimanjaro and Mount Kenya? If so, leave a message on my talk page.

[edit] What is dab?

When doing a disambiguation session, I usually have something already in the clipboard for pasting in the most common replacement. So, like others have used "fmt" for format, "sp" for spelling, etc. I use "dab".

dab stands for "disambiguation" -- quick and easy to type with one hand while using the right to click the mouse on the "Save page" button.
