My name is Tom, you can call me what you wish.

On the interweb I go by gunny or gunny01. Less often by NYPD (Proboards) or master chief (Internode Games Network)

I use Ubuntu, I think you really should too.

Contrubutions edit

My very first article is Baby Duck Syndrome.

I have also written Pacer (dinghy)

I have made other small adjustments, and lots of redirects.

Grammar, spelling and language edit

I think that -ize is better than -ise and that lieutenant should be pronounced lewtenanat and not lefttenant.

I learn German, badly.

I believe that Latin is important.

Aviation edit

Read my ramblings about Aviation here.

Userboxes edit

See my brilliant userboxen I have made here.

I am currently restructuring the way userboxen appear on my page: a few key ones on the main page and the rest on /Userboxen

Contact edit

The best way to contact me is via email. You will get a quick response. I am active on the ubuntu-au and linux-sa mailing lists.

I tend to lurk on the #ubuntu and the #ubuntu-au IRC channels.

You can also contact me on Google Talk or MSN. My username is gunny01 (GT) or gunny01@gmail.com (MSN)

All About Me edit

The lazy response to this

All about Tom!


Doesn't have any decent photos of himself


Wears sophisticated reading glasses, for...um...reading


Loves haircuts and short hair


Indifferent about poverty. (True Story: last year, I was forced into organizing the 40 Hour Famine for my school, but didn't actually do the famine.)


Supports the judicious use of force.


Prefers plain t-shirts, unless they have Knuth on them


Has lots of meat and other tasty animal bits inside him, some of it killed by him!


Thinks crocs are overpriced, like Windows Vista.


Owns a NATO Flag.


Jumps only when necessary


Hugs his dog. Cuts down trees: it's really relaxing!


Has no funny birthmark, except for his face.


Wouldn't dream of using salt as a natural antiperspirant, but keeping natural, has made homemade pepper spray with chilli and curry power mixed with vinegar. Ouch!
