| Robartes, the nickname |
| My nickname robartes stems from Michael Robartes, a recurring character in the poetry of W.B. Yeats. Briefly (because that's all I know about it, not because that's all there is to it), Yeats developed a number of personas or alter egos in his poetry to reflect certain aspects of human personality in general and his own in particular. One of these characters was Michael Robartes, who, in Yeats words, was fire reflecting in water or the adoration of the magi. Robartes features heavily in the middle and later periods of his work and even has a poetry collection named after him: Michael Robartes and the Dancer. If you are really interested, here are some perlified versions of some of Yeats' work: |

Well, not much to say there. Background wise, I have a history in Unix
system administration. I am a chemist by education but have left the
world of beakers (or in my case, flashing lasers and funky radicals)
behind for the brave new world of IT. I'm currently a consultant,
playing system engineer and amazingly seeming to get away with it. I
have been using Perl ever since I started playing around with Unix
boxen but have recently ramped up my use of the beast
significantly.
