As well as writing for Archive magazine, and
spending lots of time using Acorn and Psion computers, I do have other
things to occupy my time.
I'm a materials scientist by training, and work for an R&D company
in the automotive industry (I buy engines or whole cars and take them apart
to see what our competitors are doing). I'm involved in the Institute of Materials and am also an
Associate Lecturer in the Open
University. I've taught several courses in the Technology Faculty there
over the years, including the Foundation Course (Living with
Technology) and a range of Second Level Materials courses. I'm currently
tutoring students on T191 (Personal & Career Development in
Engineering), which is part of the OU's new MEng degree, and ties in
with the Institute activities nicely.
As far as other attributes are
concerned, I wear
glasses,
have a family, bass guitar, and an obsession with cricket. Some useful URLs
for the last topic are:
Connectivity - Support - Education - Programming - Acorn Reviews - EPOC32 Reviews - Acorn Links - Psion S5 Links - Home
Any comments?
