I was asked to introduce myself.
Name Doug Wyman.. I am 71 years old and played with my first computer in 1962.
I couldn't handle the priesthood of mainframes so went into telecommunications.
in 1976 the Washington State Patrol where I was employed gave me a Data General clone
to play with. Since then I have been having fun.
In the early 80s I started using single board computers for dedicated communications applications.
in 1988 I got a grant to invent the first source switching peer to peer mobile computer network.
My final days at WSP before retirement were spent working on weigh in motion hardware and software.
When I retired, the WSDOT brought me on for the same project. I retired again then came back as a
consultant. I finally retired a few years ago and now live on the side of Tiger Mountain in the Issaquah Alps
in Washington State U.S.A.
I am mid-design on an automatic chicken coop control with cameras lights and a few more little add ons.
I am also automating the outside lights with a Raspberry Pi as we have many wild critters on the mountain
that would like to eat our chickens goats and dogs.
Since most of my years were spent in government, I was an IBM/Microsoft geek. Now with Raspbian and Python
I am in a whole new learning mode and loving it. I have an RPi with three cameras streaming while running
remote controls with a Pi Face.
My motto is Keep on Learning. Keep on Evolving.
Thanks Doug
