pic I’m Fernando Duran, an Information Technology professional with over x years of international experience (for sufficiently large values of x) living in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. I’m from Cadiz, Spain.

I’m married to Chilean mixed-media artist Pamela Rojas and we have two sons, Daniel Duran and Ian Duran.

Some of my interests are: open source software, computer and network security, web publishing, life and evolution, human brain and consciousness, ants, close-up magic, human rights, learning and teaching, and the Roman Empire. (Well, not really but sounds good).

You can contact me at: contact

And yes, of course I have a blog: Advance and Be Mechanized
