Refugee from the awfulness that has befallen Twitter. Youtube content creator. I make intricate, beautiful, high precision parts for microwave and mmwave radio systems in a futile attempt to battle entropy and delay the eventual heat-death of the Universe. I bounce radio signals off the Moon, the aurora borealis, meteor trails, raindrops and even the international space station just for the sheer h*ck of it. Experimenter and Maker of Things for the amusement and delight of discerning gentlefolk since the 1970s. Born in the 50s but missed out on the benefits and privilege of the boomer generation. Worked with computers since 1972 but never played a computer game ever. Never seen Star Wars either. Discord and Mastodon denizen. Don't own a TV, but have appeared with Prof Hannah Fry on primetime BBC2 TV in "The Secret Genius of Modern Life". Recently widowed after 37 years but just fallen in love with an old friend and life suddenly has meaning again. youtube.com/MachiningandMicrowaves
