Sharing is the answer to many of the world's ills.
So are tea, and cuddles, and warm friendly banter with a kindly smile and cosmic ear. Those are my ways of sharing.
I'm an experienced freelance software and electronics engineer, currently focused on embedded Linux, video, and networking, but have done a lot of things. I like to think I could make virtually anything computerish given the opportunity and motivation, and there is only way to really find out, so I would like to make a computer from parts produced locally, in the manner of a craftsperson, someday. Sowing the seeds of open source design and manufacturing.
I love outdoors and hands-on-people things more than sitting with a computer, even though I do a lot of the latter. I am driven by ideas, and insights I've had which seem worth pursuing. Perhaps one day I'll have the technology to continue my work in a nomadic, adventurous lifestyle.
My greatest weaknesses are confusion, clutter and severely messed up sleep. My greatest strengths are probably my determination, vision, adaptability in the face of change, grounding in a mindful, zen kind of faith, belief in uncommonly acknowledged (but widely believed) truths, and a willingness to smile at the goodness in the hearts of people.
From time to time, I offer massage, bodywork, and other types of personal healing which involve the body and mind, in Oxford or wherever I'm travelling. I'm happy to share theory and practice; the more, the better. Sharing, see.
