I live in Sydney, Australia, where I am currently between jobs.

Over the years I have contributed several jQuery plugins to the jQuery community. See the jQuery Plugins tab for more details. And I have almost completed a book on developing jQuery plugins:

Extending jQuery

Earlier I used Delphi and JBuilder from their first releases and contributed many OpenTools to the JBuilder community. I was also a frequent contributor of technical articles to Delphi Informant, Delphi Developer's Journal, Hardcore Delphi, and The Delphi Magazine magazines. I wrote three books on these topics:

Delphi Developer's Guide to XML, 2nd Edition

Inside the JBuilder OpenTools API

I also did the initial development for log4d, a port of log4j to Delphi, and SAX for Pascal.

I have dabbled with ambigrams too and dance a bit.

This is a collection of thoughts about jQuery and its functionality.
