      Hi, I am Nic Tjirkalli. It was 06h00 on October the 9th 1970 that Nic was born into this world. I spent my childhood years in Gweru and Bulawayo in Zimbabwe and my teen years in Pretoria, South Africa. I am now a resident of Johannesburg, South Africa. I am currently employed by Verizon Business South Africa, one of South Africa's leading Internet Service Provider. Whilst sitting at my desk my work focus area is the development and maintainence of Verizon SA's core backbone network. Before Verizon Business South Africa, I was employed for a year and a half with IBM, South Africa in their Network division.

I graduated from the University Of The Witwatersrand (Wits), in 1993 with a Masters of Science (MSC) in Electrical Engineering. In 1991, I received my Bachelor of Science (BSC) in Electrical Engineering, also from Wits.

For relaxation, I enjoy listening to music (rock, alternative and metal) - recorded and preferably live, watching movies, reading Steven King's books. I also love going out and about to different restaurants or pubs. I prefer to visit new and different places. My idea of getting away from it all, is being surrounded by thousands of excited people at a rock concert.

Below is a list of some of the things I enjoy - select one, or all of them.

Every now and then I write a blurb on doing something realted to Linux or Routing or VoIP. The latest one is :-
