Dave tagged me, so here goes:

  1. I practised karate for nearly twenty years, achieving a fifth degree black belt by the time I was 18. At one point my brother and I ran three classes a week, with the most students of any school outside of the capital cities.
  2. I never earned a degree from uni, dropping out of computer science after three years.
  3. Between uni and my first (and only) software development job, I worked as a bouncer at almost every nightclub and pub in Albury.
  4. I don't drink alchohol, and never have, except for a few stolen sips of dad's beer when I was a toddler (and one incident when I was about ten involving a small cup of warm sake and a good night's sleep).
  5. My surname technically isn't Hamilton. My great grandfather changed his name to Hamilton (from Smith) when he discovered that he had the same name as his prospective father-in-law. Apparently I'm actually related to Charles Kingsford Smith. I only found this out last year!

That was fun! I tag Pete, Euan, Andrew, Julie and Paul (for whom it won't be hard to find five things, since I don't know him at all).
