arbitrary user

Arbitrary User is the personal site of me, Jonathan Endersby, a 28 year old nerd, writer, photographer, pointless storyteller, tech addicted fool, open source evangelist, libertarian hippie, software developer and business analyst.

I live in Cape Town (South Africa) with my awesome girlfriend Lynnae. We have a cat named Uran. We live in a 104 year old house, which is another way of saying ‘we do a lot of DIY’.

I believe the world is far more fascinating than religion would have you believe. I believe mankind can be good. I am an optimist. I believe that being a good person, and doing good, is more important than being successful.

I take pictures. I write about my life and the things that happen to me. It’s a journal, don’t get too critical. Sometimes I piss people off. I don’t mind. Not everyone can like me.

My idea of a good day is a walk on the mountain. I like food. I think I can tell the difference between good food and bad food. Some people disagree… mostly the people who make the bad food.

I love simple, revolutionary ideas.

When I am programming I do so in a myriad of open source languages and frameworks. Whatever fits the job best.

I use Linux (Ubuntu mostly). I don’t do windows. The only person who gets me to help them with Windows is my mom.

You can contact me via email at arbitraryuser at that google mail place domain. I am also similarly available via google talk.
