Hello, World!

Former Member
Former Member

So I finally made it to the blogosphere! not really sure how much time I will have to dedicate to this but hopefully it will serve as a platform from which I can launch my world-domineering plans! (Evil Laugh)

 

Seriously though, I intend to use this blog to keep the world updated with the various electronic, geeky thinks that I do as well as express my thoughts, ideas and anything that I feel is of value to the wider Electronic Engineering community!

 

So I suppose I should start with a breif introdution:

     My name is Benjamin Lea, I am 22 years old and currently in my third year of the Masters course in Electronic and Computer Engineering at the University of Birmingham. I have a Girlfriend, Charlotte, whom I Love very much! I love to build and fix, Im the one that gets the call as soon as anything breaks! I have had a passion for electronics for as long as I can remember, to be honest I think its probably something to do with that awesomeee film, you know, the one with the time machine, made from a DeLorean!

 

I look forward to any comments/suggestions you may have, please do feel free to get in touch!

 

My Hardware:

     Telequipment D61a Oscilloscope

     Fluke 73 Multimeter

     BusPirate Universal serial tool

     PIC-KIT2 PIC programmer

     Laptop: Sony vaio 2Ghz, 1GB

     Desktop: AMD 3200+, 2GB

     HTC Hero (Android) phone

     Nokia N95 phone

     Genuine 'Stripmaster' automatic wire stripper

    Hi Ben! Welcome to the blogosphere on element14! Have you checked out the 'On Campus' space?

    Look forward to hearing more about your world 'domineering' plans as they unfold! ;-)

    Wow, 22 and one of your favourite films is Back to the Future!  I'm impressed - you do realise that it came out in 1985, which makes it older than you...ok, now I feel old.  My engineering influences tend more towards Scotty (Star Trek) - he never told the absolute truth on how long a task would take, thereby always making himself look like a miracle worker.  Anyway, Welcome to Element-14!
