I may as well. I don't have a degree, which is the usual switching-off point for these sorts of jobs, but on the other hand, I am self-educated, using the best basic textbooks, in the neurosciences - books like AR Luria's "The Working Brain" and Lezak's "Neuropsychological Assessment". None of this of course shows up on my formal education, yet I can puncture holes in most of the hype floating around about Artificial Intelligence, neural networks, etc.
I've already suggested that I would like to work on some sort of image indexing that is based on what little we know about how the brain does it - instead of this haphazard manual indexing that is the best most dbmses can manage. I mean, I've read Stonebraker on Object-Relational DBMSes and he doesn't seem to get the idea that BLOBs - Binary Large Objects - can be parsed on their internal datastructures and thus indexed. The frightening thing is that I've started working on the algorithm as I write! Patterns, patterns, patterns! And since nobody in New Zealand wants to cash in on someone whose largely self-educated in both neuroscience and programming, I may as well see if Google.com wants to! Wish me luck!

You ask, "What is the most important thing?" Maku ki ana, he tangata, he tangata, he tangata. I reply, "It is people, it is people, it is people."
