BigBro on the Web

Welcome
to my humble home...

...where
War is Peace
Freedom is Slavery
Ignorance is Strength

(The slogans of the Ministry of Truth in "Nineteen Eighty-Four".)

You have stumbled into the Website of Gareth 'bigbro' Eason. For those of you who haven't figured it out yet, the 'bigbro' comes from George Orwell's novel, "Nineteen Eighty-Four." The Big Brother in the novel was an evil abstract character who kept an eye on everything that everybody did; privacy did not exist.

I like to think that I am nothing like that particular character, but the name is somewhat apt since I have been fulfilling the role of system administrator on various different systems from the past 4 or 5 years now, and you know the reputation (Completely undeserved, of course ;-)) that they have... Anyway, I really love the book, even though it's now 1999 and we thankfully have not degenerated to the level of society described in the book.

If you haven't already read the book, I highly recommend it.

The hallway smelt of boiled cabbage and old rag mats. At one end of it a coloured poster, too large for indoor display, had been tacked to the wall. It depicted simply an enormous face, more than a metre wide: the face of a man of about forty-five, with a heavy black moustache and ruggedly handsome features. [...] On each landing, opposite the lift-shaft, the poster with the enormous face gazed from the wall. It was so contrived that the eyes follow you about when you move. BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU, the caption beneath it ran.
