A bit about me

I'm John -
I work at a Marine Construction and Dredging company on all sorts of cool and fun stuff. Big electrical and mechanical systems on cranes and dredges, and small data and control systems, and just about everything in-between. The gear dates from the 1930's (really) all the way to the latest satellite communications and control stuff.

I spent 20 years in US Navy submarines, mostly as a nuclear electrician.  I then took a job installing and servicing the latest high tech 3-dimensional metal printing equipment.

Anyway - I've also been programming computers since you had to do it with teletypes and punch cards, and worked with all sorts of electrical and electronic stuff.  That's good, because I LOVE this stuff!

I think it's cool, and if you follow along, maybe you will too - this is just my way of giving a little back of all the good fortune I've had in being able to be around the technology I love to work with.

So here goes!

    1. It's pretty basic stuff, so I think you'll have no problems keeping up - lol
