Briefly:

A Ph. D, ballet dancer, living in the woods of Vancouver Island only begins to describe the elusive Djun Kim. Programming (really) since the early 70's, he wrangled some of Vancouver first machines into a network acting a Unix sysadmin, cable runner, software writer, and spiritual caretaker.

He's studied and taught mathematics and computer science at UBC and Berkeley, rolled out software for dot coms, brewed up a consultancy, and contributed to a variety of open source projects - including code for the Drupal projects. Around here, he parachutes in to pontificate on the big picture processes, document the projects, and translates mysterious acronyms for a select cadre of clientèle.

Rather attend Ballet or Opera or Symphony?

Hmm - well, I dance ballet, so it's always fun to see people who can *actually* dance. I've had season tix to the Vancouver Opera for about six years now - it's a great form but it takes some getting into :) Symphony - I haven't been nearly so often, though Vancouver has some great orchestras. I have a friend who performs with the Westcoast symphony - an amateur organization that puts on a couple of great performances a year.

Best concert ever?

Best concert I never got into: U2 at the commodore, in 1980. I got turned away at the door cause I was underage. Otherwise... The Police / XTC at the old PNE arena, or maybe The Clash at the Fillmore in SF
