The decision to pursue IT was not just for kicks or the potential returns associated with it. Well, not entirely. Almost ten years back, nine years during my foray in Australia we took a trip to Melbourne, Victoria. The fellow Motswana student we visited had hooked up a laptop running Win XP  to his Pioneer home theatre. I got intrigued by the possibilities of computing. At our house we had this IBM antique which still ran command line and it stayed with us for about six years and I for one never went beyond playing chess or an occasional word processing.

However after the trip i got very very egg-cited, and eventually prompted to acquire an Aopen 11" laptop running WinXP professional. Playing around with it I eventually discovered the portal into this dynamic, intriguing, potential-laden exciting and interesting world that is IT. I was hooked. Literally. Reading articles online and on magazines i became a regular of apcMag (the Australian PC magazine) and particularly the arra of open source apps it offered in the disc. Thats when i discovered Linux and its endless distributions.

Within six months i could execute scripts and commands using bash shell. Tingling with excitement i partitioned my baby (Aopen OpenBook) running Fedora Core 3 and Win XP Black Edition....

Eventually i explored other avenues: music clipping, mixing tracks, basic HTML, CSS, javascript and as they say the rest is history. I am continually challenging myself in the web design & development area, database query and security and my new found hobby: mobile app development for android.
