I`m a father of three , a manufacturing engineer in the Aerospace industry (for 2 years now) with a mechanical engineering education and 8 yrs experience as a design engineer. At the age of 15 I bought my first computer, a pentium 60 with 4 MB of RAM and 1 GB hard drive :) Since then I`ve learned a lot. Nowadays I put together my own pc`s as well as the ones for family and friends. In my job I am the network administrator`s backup and also responsible for creating and planning network layout. In software and operating systems I`m experienced in Windows based computers, but I am also discovering Linux more and more. At home I do most DIY myself including plumbing and electrical installation. I just finished reconstructing my new home (a farm), a job which took me just over a year. Some DIY information could be location based, as I live in the Netherlands and construction regulation can differ a lot per country. ©
