For the tech people who are wondering about my background.



Both parents were computer scientists by training, though my Dad was a physicist before giving up after his PhD. -



Andrew Riddell. He was head of R&D for ATKK for a while.


Network engineer. -


Mum only finished her degree in her fifties, but obviously worked with programs and 3D animation for her creative work.

Then she worked at Datacom with Jamie for a bit.

Jamie's got a project that she wants to use Tātai for.
