Part-development, part management I run my own electronics research company, design software for web and embedded designs - as well as holiday a holiday rental and spending the rest of the time being IT Director for the Federation of Small Businesses. I live in the northeast of England with my wife and cats (www.scargill.org) and in the summer head off to our place in Spain (www.bedrock.es). I`ve been interested electronics since my first Philips electronics kit at around the age of 8 and the web since running a successful bulletin board in the `80s (remember the midnight line). Current interests include the Arduino and Raspberry Pi projects (if Farnell would only stop messing about with CE and actually deliver the things). I`m currently working on an effective and reliable ethernet control base for Arduino projects for a host of developments including a relay board, thermostat, sad light and more. All good fun, not enough time. ©
