Introduction

This is my first real attempt at a website and I have to thank Walter Pearce for some work and suggestions (involving significant improvements) as to lay out etc of this Website. Since I am not a graphic artist though, you may have to bear with me while I get some of the finer points worked out.

One of the reasons for building this Website was to learn by doing things the hard way. It is being hosted on a machine run and maintained by me so that I can explore the ins and outs of running a web-server.

This does mean though that if I have problems they may not be fixed as quickly as with a professionally hosted site and doing it this way also costs a bit more, but I think it is worthwhile for the experience. If you visit my website in the future and find it down - please be patient and try again later.

Due to ongoing power issues I have had to explore the in's and outs of running a UPS - mainly with regard to communicating with the UPS to automate an orderly shut down of the server in the event of an extended power failure.

Currently I have a Page with some Educational notes I am writing up. These Notes cover Electronics, Computing and Audio they are free to download and use.

The Luddite covers some of my thoughts on the myths, misunderstandings and mis-applications of modern Technology.

DIY Electronic projects With some Audio, Computer and test Electronics to build.
Circuit boards and full constructional notes for these projects are or will be made available for sale.

To save the bother of searching my website for any new additions I will list them here:
