Matthew is the last person in the photo of the four of us (left) to be blogged about. He is the one standing behind Claire. Matthew, incase you cant figure it out, is a member of the Mi-PAL team and came to Sydney and Bremen with me.

Matthew and I have only really known each other via the team and one subject (Web Programming) which we did last semester. Matthew, like Claire and I, was crazy enough to do an IAP project with the team. Matthew managed to land the wonderful project of localisation.

Localisation is the task of knowing where you are in the world.... sounds easy hey. Spend 6months working with AIBO's and get back to us ;)

Matthew is probably the team member that managed to get the most sleep in Germany! He is also the one that played Diablo 2 on the plane over and in the hotel over there! Talk about being a geek. Matthew doesnt really drink.... well until he started spending time with Claire Dave and I. He is a cheap drunk.

Matthew bought the most memorable thing in Germany when he bought, with the last of his money, a gothic sorta stick thing with a skull on the top of it. We refused to walk with him after he bought it.

Matthew is the unofficial maintainer of "The Quotes File" where we keep memorable quotes from team members. This all changes when he starts drinking and becomes the member that is getting quoted. Dave has a book with some absolute beauties in it. Dont worry Matthew I wont post any here but it may come up at your 21st.

Msg to Matthew: Vision is perfect! Thanks for all the laughs... Just remember to think before talking a little more... especially around Vlad and Claire! We're almost finished and soon we will be out there in the real world... scary. Hope to work with you more (and maybe have a drink or three) with you in the future.

Have fun.
