Let’s see if we can say a little about ourselves - I know we each have a variety of interests.
Feel free to mention any accidents with filament spaghetti, soldering irons, null pointers, interrupt service routines, sharp-edged cabinets, heavy power supplies.
Hi, I’m PJ. I am more of an analogue type. I am OK with most common computer apps but find the proliferation of apps that ‘help’ us communicate and plan out time and work schedules confusing and not much use. For instance I have to thank Ed for posting the link to this thread as I never seem to find anything on this forum… so I only use these assistant apps when I have to. As for coding and backend alchemy I am at a complete loss, but time has been my ally and AI is increasingly able to help me should the occasion arise. Also I have not been to a Tech Shed meeting for months, mainly due to other pressures on my time. But I try to keep up with what’s going on. When not actively earning a living, I help out on a farm, have a small excavator and have discovered a surprising number people I know who want a bit of digging done, and have recently bought a small wood and a share in a mobile sawmill to turn Norway spruce into useful timber (and will restock with native broadleaf - but that’s another story) The rest of my time seems to be taken up repairing a wide range of things in the home workshop or Share Repair Cafe. I am currently in Copenhagen helping sell stupidly expensive cosmetics to a population that, on the whole, seems to need no help looking good. But who am I to judge
