Hello, World!

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

    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!
