5 When I am not in front of my laptop doing some software related stuff,
6 I do sometimes find the energy to do things with my own hands... I've
7 enjoyed to hack eletronics since I am 12 or something like that. At 14
8 I had a scope in my room. I also started to hack my Amstrad CPC-6128
9 back then. Beginning to write code, first in BASIC, then in Z-80
10 assembly code.
11
12 I've never made something really serious in electronics, mostly
13 repairing stuff, built my own Nelson Pass hifi power amplifier, but I
14 finally made my life hacking computers. The discovery of the FOSS
15 movement changed me, and is now an essential part of my life.

17 More recently, I began to play with more substential
18 hardware. Starting with a very small chinese milling machine (a Vario
19 BF16) and a cheap inverter welding machine, I began to learn (mostly
20 by myself) some elements of machining.
21
22 Then I had the opportunity to acquire and install (thanks to my
23 sister offering me a part of a newly acquired grange to welcome a
24 couple of more serious machines) a few machinist toys I am, very
25 slowly, reconditionning.
26
27 I'd like to try to write kind-of journal of my experiments with my
28 "grouwn-up toys", being electronics or machinist related. An maybe
29 some other subjects as well, who knows?
