Yo!

First things first: I was born in 1977, so please work out my age yourself heh heh . My real name is Francis de Sales Pandu E Poluan (FYI, Francis de Sales is my patron saint [1] [2]. Yes, I'm a Catholic. You gotta problem with that?)

Okay, now that's behind me... um, I live inthe outskirts of Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia. I am familiar with computers since 11 y.o. (with videogames since 5 y.o. but that's a whole different story). My first computer was an Atari 800XL, then I 'graduated' to PCompatibles.

I am an Electronics Engineer specializing in Telecommunications Engineering, with special study of Data Communications / Computer Networks. I currently hold CCNA, MCSE, MCSA, and MCDBA certifications, and am pursuing CISA and CEH certifications. Naturally, with this qualification, I worked as a US Stock Options trader in my own company, which I established with 3 friends of mine: an ex-bartender, a doctor, and a tax accountant. Sadly, the company is now defunct. So I revert to my previous expertise and am now a Freelance IT Consultant. Tiresome job, though the pay is quite good

My first exposure to the world of Digital Audio is when CDs are first created sold in my country. Later on I got to know MP3. Never knew it's not the best compression, until I stumbled upon Xiph.org. Then I found HydrogenAudio. And, as they say, the rest is history.

Ever since joining I had wished to contribute to the HA society, and thus I decided to dabble in this Wiki thingy Hope my contributions are welcomed.
