I always thought I'd get around to updating my profile and putting a web page together, but it hasn't happened, so:

My name's Jim Ballentine, and I know live in Santiago, Chile. I work for a large, multinational software company, hence most of my travel is work related, either regionally to visit clients, or to Silcon Valley, to visit the mother ship.

Prior to Chile, I spent 10 years in Germany, hence me corresponding with Rudi in German. Before that, California was home.

I've always enjoyed travelling, and love airlines and big airplanes.
