Hi,

I’m Matthieu Yiptong, a 19 year old Canadian of Mauritian descent. I currently work as a network administrator for the Conseil scolaire de district Catholique Centre-Sud in Toronto, that is, the Toronto and area French Catholic school board. I previously attended Turner Fenton Secondary School in Brampton and the Telfer school of Managment at the University of Ottawa.

As you can probably tell from my blog, I’m a general computer and technology enthusiast, although I occasionally do post on more personal topics. I am bilingual (English/French) but unfortunately do not speak any kind of Chinese, despite my Chinese ancestry. I do, however, enjoy Chinese food (and many other types of food). I also enjoy learning about other cultures and am fortunate to live in (near, actually) a culturally diverse city such as Toronto.

With regard to music, I’m generally pretty open, but my tastes usually lean towards rock. Classic rock, indie, punk, pop-rock, psychedelic rock, electronic… Not a huge fan of gangsta rap, but hip-hop and R&B I’ll do. I also like jazz; I have a certain fondness for big band thanks to the World War II movies we watched in history class.

Other than that, I dabble in photography and enjoy reading, although lately I haven’t done much reading of actual books…

And that’s me. or at least that’s all I can think of right now.
