I'm new to the forum, but certainly not new to the strip. I've been reading QC since late January 2004. When I started reading the comic, Strip 79 was the most recent.
Started my online strip reading in the late 90s with furry strips like John (The Gneech) Robey's "Suburban Jungle" and "Never Never", Mark Stanley's "Freefall", Bill Holbrook's "Kevin & Kell", etc, etc.
By 2004, I was supplying server space for a number of strips, and John Robey, Mark Stanley, and a many other (mostly furry) comic strip artists were personal friends. These days I am still hosting a number of strips (couldn't tell you how many without going through the server) and have been a moderator on the "Cross Time Cafe" forum for a few years.
I migrated from Australia to Newfoundland, Canada in early 2008. In late 2012, I relocated to Nova Scotia. I'm down in the South West corner, about 3 hours by road from Halifax.
My background is electronics, specifically ground based aviation navigation and communication systems. I've been both a systems installer and a technical instructor. These days I do web maintenance and design and some graphic design work for a local advertising publication, and amongst other things, I run my own LASER engraving business.
