Little Dip first came into existence on a shelf in the Dairy Products section of a Glasgow (Scotland) Safeway Supermarket on 11th January 1969 (which just so happened to be a Saturday...). Through the years, Dip grew up and developed into what we Scots call a "man who can't hold his liquor".
Well, enough of that. I'm a Computer Programmer, working in the Department of Medical Cardiology, Glasgow Royal Infirmary. Basically, I work on ECG interpretation software. This bit gets confusing -- I work for Glasgow University and I'm paid by Siemens Elema, but I'm based in the Royal Infirmary. The software I work on is used in Siemens 440, Megacart, and other ECG machines in their range. Recently.....well in the last 6 years, I've been working on Neural Networks fro diagnosing various abnormalities of the heart. So far, I've yet to create one which will diagnose the most common heart problem -- that of a broken heart 8*) Oh, what about educational background? Well, I went to Glasgow College of Technology in 1985 to study an HND in Computer Studies. That lasted 3 years. After that, I got the job where I work now and then went to Glasgow University part-time to study for a M.Sc. in Information Technology.
My nick is CheeseDip (Heh!) but I occasionally use the nick WhippyDip (Bleh!). Don't ask me why/how I got the nick CheeseDip.
The Photo
The photo was taken on Friday 16th December 1994 at a restaraunt called the Stravaigin which is near Glasgow University Campus. Out of shot is my boss, who is saying "What's that Brian up to now...". Heck, I couldn't even overcome my embarassment to talk to him for almost a week!!! The photograph was taken by a concerned colleague who took her film to an express developing service just so that she could plop the photo on my desk the following Monday with the following note attached:
Now folks, let me give ya'll a little advice. Under no circumstances
what-so-ever should you drink 2 bottles of wine (one red, one white -- clearly
exhibited in the aforementioned photograph), followed by a double vodka and
then expect to go off to your sisters party with her workmates and knock back
a few cans of BUdweiser! No sir-ee!! That, my friends, is a lethal combination!!
Everyone was witness to my party frolics and to make matters worse, they were
around for days afterwards just to remind me of those stupid, stupid acts...
Needless to say, I was soooo ill that I didn't surface from my bed until 7:30pm
the next day. Boy! What a hangover.
