+When I am not in front of my laptop doing some software related stuff,
+I do sometimes find the energy to do things with my own hands... I've
+enjoyed to hack eletronics since I am 12 or something like that. At 14
+I had a scope in my room. I also started to hack my Amstrad CPC-6128
+back then. Beginning to write code, first in BASIC, then in Z-80
+assembly code.
+
+I've never made something really serious in electronics, mostly
+repairing stuff, built my own Nelson Pass hifi power amplifier, but I
+finally made my life hacking computers. The discovery of the FOSS
+movement changed me, and is now an essential part of my life.
+
+More recently, I began to play with more substential
+hardware. Starting with a very small chinese milling machine (a Vario
+BF16) and a cheap inverter welding machine, I began to learn (mostly
+by myself) some elements of machining.
+
+Then I had the opportunity to acquire and install (thanks to my
+sister offering me a part of a newly acquired grange to welcome a
+couple of more serious machines) a few machinist toys I am, very
+slowly, reconditionning.
+
+I'd like to try to write kind-of journal of my experiments with my
+"grouwn-up toys", being electronics or machinist related. An maybe
+some other subjects as well, who knows?
