About Stewart Frater - Boglebud

Stewart's Website

I am an accountant by training and was born (and currently live) in NZ, having recently returned after 10 years in London where I was a director at a Japanese bank. Prior to this I worked as an operator on the Stock Exchange Floor and as a director at a large Australasian investment bank. Currently, I earn a living by day-trading, with a little ad-hoc banking consultancy thrown in.

I'm not involved in the coding side of Bersirc, although I have had occasion in the past to develop the occasional financial or trading application/tool in C or PAL (mainly for my own use) and I have project-managed the specification, coding, and implementation of "mission-critical" banking systems - mainly foreign-exchange related. At home I run Win2k and Linux boxes.

Along with my collection of a dozen or so left-handed guitars, I have a wife and 2 children to maintain. Other than that, I collect books - English literature mainly - and support Wimbledon FC - two particularly unprofitable pursuits :(

I am also Wraith's brother :)

I was born in August, 1974, 15 minutes from the Capital City of New Zealand. I currently live in Kelburn, Wellington.

Around 1994 I got onto the net through a free Internet Provider whose service was a menu driven shell account based system. I inadvertently managed to find my way to IRC! As luck would have it, I connected to an EFnet server (which no longer exists) and so my love of IRC (especially EFnet) began.

I finally paid for a real account and learnt a little about scripting. As time went on, and my scripts got more complicated, I started thinking that I would love to program. So, finally I bought Borland Delphi. I spent every day (and most of every night) working with Delphi learning the basics of programming and windows in general. After 3 years of hard work I released Bersirc v1.0.
