Hello. My name is Mhalaise. Well, actually, it’s not, my name is Allan. But online, I go by Mhalaise. The reason for my nickname is a story in itself and, if you want, you can find out about in my “Origin Story”, link (above) on this page. But for now, call me Allan, or know me as Mhalaise, I don’t mind which…
This is my blog, a place for me to record my musings, to store my memories, and to keep logs of what I’ve been up to. If they interest you, feel free to read, if not, walk on by, it’s up to you. Be kind, this is my first ever blog, I’m new to this. It may look boring right now but I hope it evolves with me.
Privately, I am a keen online gamer (note the word “keen”, I enjoy it but I am, by no means, good at it). I’m also a keen stillwater trout angler and fly dresser (“keen” again, not expert). I’m an avid reader (mostly sci-fi / fantasy / horror / and some crime) and music lover (eclectic taste with a heavy leaning towards rock/metal). And I enjoy photography and astronomy, and a lot of other things that might come to light here.
Professionally, I am a software developer/designer. I specialise in integration and middleware solutions, with a broad range of skills and disciplines therein.
