I'm a new joiner to the RevSpace. In the past I've tended to be a software hacker, not a hardware hacker. I tend to bring my family for a variety of smaller projects.

I'm a theoretical physical chemist by training and a diplomat by career.

  1. Family projects/learning activities:
  • Fiddling with LEDs and resistors and a breadboard and building a buzzer game
  • Learning to solder components to boards and make LEDs light up
  • 3D printing
  1. Things I want to learn:
  • Laser-cutting/etching
  • Espresso making with the Pavoni
  • Silkscreen printing
  1. Interim projects:
  • Getting some of my arduino projects going again
  • Building some of my arduino projects into more permanent (not breadboarded) items
  • 3D-printing a mouthpiece for my French Horn
  1. Code

I have coded in C, C++, perl, Pascal, Turing, python, R, emacs-lisp, csh, PHP. I have debugged fortran, ruby, and several others. I am sometimes trying to learn rust.

Some of my past projects are available in repositories on GitHub.

  1. Past activities

I used to work in computer graphics and adjacent to the games development industry. I once had RSA in perl in a signature block and sent my first internet email, and was first flamed on usenet, in 1992.
