I believe : Life is about finding balance.
People tend to find whatever it is they're looking for.
More or less.
Optimists seek the best in people and situations, often creating that for themselves, too.
In contrast, a pessimist expects misery and failure, and is seldom surprised when it arrives in spades.
Hot-heads, itching for a fight, tend to find themselves embroiled in one.
No-one reaches the pinnacle without the ambition, drive and preparation to get there. And sacrifice, too.
Which brings us to : Spiritualists. Seeking inner peace, they are rewarded when they take time and opportunity to slow down, reflect and contemplate. Atheists see chance and dumb luck as the proof of order arising from chaos, and though Theists see much the same thing, they cannot put cause down to random chance alone.
Seek, and you shall find… usually in the last place you look.
Now, what are you searching for?
These are four T's of Ian's life.
- Tales. Ian's a writer. Primarily short stories, but both technical and non-technical documents, and he has completed several novels. It's where the Artsy and the Technological meet. Ian will create a professionally-designed technical manual for you that can be as granular and detailed as you like, yet accessible to novices.
Or you can just read excerpts or order from some of his other acclaimed stories, "What Are Ya, The Morality Police", the Write Around the Murray prize-winning "Big C", award-winning "Don't You Know Who I Am?" and the first episode of "Noir is the Old Black".

To Ian, words are like tools, and must be treated with respect, and used correctly, lest they fail you.
- Technology. The business arm of www.ianharrison.id.au. Ian has developed managed IT desktop solutions for numerous customers over the last 25 years or so, including global telecommunications players, governments and utilities companies, and has worked as an IT Consultant in Sydney, Cessnock, London and Dublin.
Computers were meant to make life easier. If your life isn't, yet is full of computers, contact Ian for a discussion about automation.
- R-T. Arty. When the logical half of his brain needs a break, Ian stimulates the creative side with music, logos and designs. Most of the graphics on this site are his creations. He'd be more than happy to work on a design with, and for you.
- Spirituality. A lower-case 't' for a very unique case. Ian reckons Easter is the most important Holiday of the year.
To achieve balance, remove the training wheels, and get some speed up.
Being an IT Professional, Ian has often found himself at either Sourceforge or GRC to see what projects his contemporaries are working on. This website was originally adapted from Steve Gibson's elegant approach, though Ian also referenced many other sites - he's been a citizen of the Internet since 1993. There's lots of help and knowledge on the Web. Get out there and ask - or have him do it for you.
