Its a giant microbe. A bookworm to be exact.
meme by Noodlez.
This is me, I work on the web.

I live in the fantastic city of lights, Perth. Second only to Melbourne (IMHO) and work at Westnet, helping to supply the tubes to everyone.
Using computers and the internet has been something I have pretty much grown up with, with my first taste being Tetris on the NES and then moving onto Microbees and Commodore 64s.

Many people seem to bag Perth, but I think its the case of 'the grass is always greener' as you don't have to look far to see just how good we have it here.
This is definitely proven by the web community that has grown over here and how interactive it is. Even winning to bring podcamp over here, beating out the rest of the Oz cities combined.
Its this sort of thing which makes hanging out with the web crew that much more enjoyable.

I have been a blogger for about 6 years now, but only recently started up my own domain and am now slowly, but finally, learning html and building my own site from scratch. Its a challenge, but something I love doing, and am enjoying it immensely.

I am also a photographer and am slowly starting my own business. But I would not be where I am if I hadn't joined flickr and the fantastic Perth crew.

Social networking, is another aspect of the net that I have enjoyed playing around with, and can see it becoming more integrated into our lives.

I think most of all, this is what I enjoy about working on web, the continuous growth and new ideas to keep us learning and thinking of new ways to do things.

Do you work on the web?

I particularly like the fact that you have a water bottle right next to a stubby holder :)

I'd love to see Stile do one of these... "My name is Stile, I work on the web. I run a porn community that is popular with strange men. One time, I faked a hanging to gain publicity for my site. I also like the colour blue."

Great shot here n00bs - good memories. Good to see your desk is a little cleaner! LOL

From someone who has lived in W.A., then moved to Melbourne, then back to W.A. I can tell you that the grass is slightly greener in Melbourne due to it not being as hot. Or the people not being so narrow-minded (and hating change)... or the shops being open 7 days a week.. errrrr.....

Love your work, Noodlez.
I whole-heartedly agree with your comments about people's attitude towards Perth. Lots of people imply that Perth is a small town, but those people didn't grow up in a small town.

As for flickr, you were the first person from PIP I ever talked to in real life.
(Me approaching a table of people at the Oxford) "Hey are you guys from PIP?"
(Dude who turns out to be Noodlez) "Yeah, grab a seat"

ps. I have a Microbee under my staircase! Hasn't been turned on for many many years.
