I'm a baby-boomer Canadian currently teaching English and IT subjects in China. My academic qualifications are a BA in Psychology and a Certificate in Teaching English as a Second Language, both from Carleton U in Ottawa. I am quite active on Wikitravel, where I'm an admin, and sometimes contribute to other wikis. See my Wikitravel user page: [1].
I've spent two substantial chunks of my career as a teacher — 1978-83 and 2002-date — mainly because that is a good way to support travel. At other times I've worked in computing, mostly as a technical writer but a bit of everything else too.
I wrote most of the documentation for the FreeS/WAN project, a Linux implementation of the IPsec encryption protocols. I have permission to re-use that text here User_talk:Sandy_Harris/Permission.
I'm interested in computer security and cryptography. I think my latest paper, on combining stream ciphers and block ciphers, is fairly interesting.
On holiday Jan 20 to Feb 23. I will have only intermittent net access and probably won't be here much until sometime in March.
