Writing
I'm lucky enough to have been a pretty good writer for most of my life. I think it comes with the voracious reading appetite. As a child, I was always the kid whose writing got read out to the rest of the class -- if there are any teachers out there, that's a great motivator. In my late school days, I wanted to be a writer and I was about to get into journalism until fate intervened and pushed me into IT.
I always fancied myself as a novelist but somehow I never seem to find the time. Additionally, people seem to be more interested in my non-fiction works.

Most of my serious writings are on my blogs, you can see my pages on Aspergers Syndrome and on Computers for more information about them.
Below are some non-fiction articles I've written for other purposes;
