About Me
40 years of software engineering from the simplest of computers to the complex multi computer systems in autonomous lorries and fly by wire aircraft, including a surprising amount in your mobile phone. Those pictures you see in old programs like 'The Professionals' of big tape players - I worked with those, that packet of crisps - I probably programmed the machine that packets them.
Not a geek in the sense of thinking computers are wonderful, they are a stunningly useful tool but only when someone has programmed them correctly.

Different help and study depending on your interests and needs.
If at school this maybe that you need help with homework. It maybe that a subject isnt as exciting as you thought and I can help.
If later in life you may just have an interest, maybe shared with a group, lets create relevant study groups.

Most of us have cars. A good number of people spend a lot on garage maintenance.
Most of us have things at home that get broken from toys to mobile phones, from model trains to TVs lots of people throw them out when they dont work.
With some practical work lets learn to fix these things instead of wasting them.
