Leonard Layton & Gabrielle Prendergast live here, when not terrorising the good residents of Sydney with various pranks and hoaxes.

Geoffrey Shuetrim economist par excellence over there in that damp grey country.

Matthew King well-known supporter of Sydney University and now cinfo online identity.

Murray Woodman host of an excellent e-zine Spunk and mean squash player. Currently tooling around the world, last heard from somewhere in the Middle East.

David Alexander "Mad visionary" neuroscientist and fellow Will Self aficionado.

Steven Hofmeyr Bizarre South-African fellow who enjoys constructing climbing walls in the backyard. How I ended up sharing a house with this man, I'll never know.

Nigel Snoad Former other housemate and expatriate Australian, now back in Australia. Also shares Steven's habit of bouldering over neighbour's houses at random moments of the day.

Wim Hordijk Former Santa Fe housemate and Dutch expatriate. Has been known to pen (pencil?) a mean drawing or two, also helpful for routine sanity checks.

Cosma Shalizi Self-described `village reductionist' physics grad student at the SFI. Whilst at SFI, kept us non-linear systems-oriented folk from drifting too far into the wild blue yonder.

Maria Brogren From Sweden, an occasional visitor to the dry New Mexico parts at LANL. She also happens to be Master's student in Engineering Physics in a place with the unlikely name of Uppsala (which I've certainly never visited!).

Andrew Lancaster, who, people tell me, is vaguely related to me (ok, he's my brother), likes guitars and knob twiddling. He, his girlfriend and a DJ mate of their's have just put together a band called Lino, and they don't sound too bad at all, I reckon.
