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 in's 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.
While I
mention this it seems that my area of Sydney seems to be approaching third
world levels of reliability with regards to power, with the number of
power failures we appear to have been suffering lately - and I have not
always been in a position to restart my web server immediately following
the restoration of power.
While the last power failure occurred during
a thunder storm (so presumably it was due to Lightning damage) Energy
Australia (our power provider) publish no information anywhere on what
caused the power failures (only our most recent failure could be
attributed to bad weather) and as a customer I have to say that I find
these unexplained mystery failures somewhat frustrating.
Of course this
means that I really do have to get a UPS for my web
server....
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:
