Sleep, drink tea and watch TV mainly. Sometimes there is a funny noise that wakes us up and we have to go out on this big red thing and squirt water at houses and stuff.

No actually it's quite busy, more routine stuff and training than anything else.

I was a monkey for 6 years before that, with my last year in Cyprus. Oh what a year!

I fix things......

Currently fixing control systems for a manufacturer of Pill making machines.  They have also asked me to design replacements for some of the obsolete stuff, looks like a job for some LPC1768's.

I can't be screwing up too much, cause they offered me a full time job, and at more than I asked for.

Aren't lead engines very heavy? I've heard that the piston rings are made of pewter and that the exhaust valves are zinc plated copper. is this true :-?

I'm an "electron herder" by profession but seem to be doing so with a keyboard more than a soldering iron these days.

I write software for test equipment that is used in  the approval of mobile phones.
