Become an expert on #MicroControllers #ESP32 #STM32 #RP2040 #MIPS #RiscV

DIY sensors which sing like birds to communicate their status

DIY robots "drones"

Move as much as possible of my computing needs to the #Terminal, #Emacs, #Rio #CLI #TUI #P9

Get an #3DPrinter and learn to use it

Design and build my own portable 8dot #braille terminal & try out if 3x3 or 3x4 dots is also workable.

Design and build my own low-power computers, their OS, and tools

#introduction

VA3KZR as of 2023-12-09

Started with #Commodore Vic-20 - at school, we learned graphical #LOGO on PETS and Apple IIe's... crashed the school Unisys ICON network far too often...

Headed to college, *thought* I would be heavily involved in, electronics design, and engineering - instead, it was #programming.

First was #VisualBasic 1.0; next, Borland #Delphi 1.0 / #ObjectPascal - still dabble with #FreePascal #Lazarus, a smidge of #Java, a lot of #CSharp and some #Python.

#introduction

Who me? Just a #Maker, IT Consultant and "all-around-#nerd".

I grew up watching Saturday morning cartoons, original #StarTrek re-runs, reading #Fantasy & #SciFi (not SyFy), lots of #Lego and eventually graduated to #RPG and #tabletop gaming. 

My first computer was a #Commodore Vic-20 - at school, we learned graphical #LOGO on PETS and Apple IIe's... crashed the Unisys ICON network often before getting my first PC - grudgingly - really wanted an #Amiga.

Eventually, it was time for college - I *thought* I would be heavily involved in the physical aspects of technology, circuit design, and hardware engineering - instead, I gravitated to #programming.

My first professional #programming language was #VisualBasic 1.0; eventually, jumping into Borland #Delphi 1.0 and #ObjectPascal - still dabble with #FreePascal #Lazarus, a smidge of #Java, a lot of #CSharp and some #Python. My #JavaScript is ancient...

OK, #introduction tags #running #smashrun #beekeeping #programming #objectpascal #delphi #weather #raspberrypi I'm a computer scientist (jack of all trades) who generally implements the ideas of cleverer people. I keep bees.

More intro moved from profile:

My past was risk analysis programming for engineers and human factors, but more recently the bottom dropped out of the market for consultants. Now I have a proper job putting stuff in databases and analysing it
