About me
========

I turned 60 in 2026.... how did that happen?

I'm a tinkerer. 

I don't know much but I've been playing with Linux since the days
of Red Hat 6 and before the time of "always-on-broadband-internet".

I'm a TV/Radio Transmitter engineer by trade - started working for
the BBC in 1988 and have been doing the same job ever since.

My interests include
====================

Radio - Amateur Radio and Short Wave Listening

Computers - (but I don't really write code (much))

I keep a daily Diary - on paper, written with fountain pen and
sketches in pen/watercolour

I play chess most days, but I'm not good at it

I'm married

We have had dogs (mostly Lurchers) for the last 33+ years and
currently have 2 -> Twist (Bedlington Terrier) & Moth (Collie
Lurcher) and a cat (George, who's female.... her brother was
Gilbert ----> together they made "Gilbert & George"[0] --- but he
was sadly killed by a car, so George is now just "George")

HP and Swiss Micros RPN calculators

Watching Cricket on the TV and listening to Test Match Special (I
miss the days of 198kHz Long-Wave though)

I've been a runner and done triathlons but currently I'm struggling
with Rheumatoid Arthritis, which means I'm not as fit or active as
I used to be. Getting Old Sucks.
