   James Ashton - IT Manager, RSISE
   
   Where James came from: James started at RSISE in the Department of Systems Engineering (now Information Engineering) in December 1991. Previously he was a postgraduate student at the University of Sydney and before that an undergraduate at the University of Wollongong. He was born in Melbourne (don't you dare ask when) but mostly brought up in Albury. What James does here: James is the IT Manager here at RSISE. He is the person that designs policy relating to the use of network services at RSISE, and has extensive experience in designing and upgrading networks. Since Pete and Silas arrived, James has been disappointed by the fact that they seem to get all the cool and exciting tasks to do, and he's stuck with the boring managerial jobs. What James likes IT-wise: Word processing! But seriously, James feels that the most actual IT work he's done since he's been here has been in hacking LaTeX macros to make people's books and papers look beautiful. But James is another one of those 'Walking IT Libraries" that seem to float through the corridors at RSISE. He also has a superb grasp of scripting and can often be seen writing sed commands of a length that seems almost impossible. An interesting fact about James: "I'm a naturally boring person though I do have a wife (Joan) and two children (James and Elanor)" says James. But the rest of us find the fact that he brings in a lunch box with his name on it pretty darn interesting ... How many James Ashton's are there that bring in lunch boxes to RSISE?
