Just spotted this great article in Wired magazine:

Father of Australian Internet Warns of Address Crunch

Geoff Huston was born the year television arrived in Australia. But his
parents wouldn’t let him watch. While he sometimes snuck away to friends’
houses with TV, Huston says his deprivation forced him to read. Through
books, he developed a love of words, a love that oddly enough led him to
become the father of the internet in Australia.

The Internet Hall of Fame inducted Huston as an inaugural member for his
crucial work to get Australia online in the late 1980s. While he’s honored
to be included, Huston says the credit is overblown. He says he just
happened to be the geek who could speak.

Wired is doing a series on the Inernet Hall of Fame inductees.

Congrats again Geoff, and I remember you speaking on geek matters then!
