Career and occupations
This is what I've done for a living, paid or not. At present I'm mostly centred on systems administration and identity management.
Study history and academic degrees
Brought up in catholic schools, from age 8 up to 17 (1979) in St. Estanislao School in Málaga, run by Jesuit priests, but in the days when Spain was transitioning from dictatorship into democracy, so they were not as strict as they used to be in the first half of the 20th century, but strict enough to teach a good sense for self discipline and a taste for perfection, really for a sane tendency to it.
