Irish, in my 40’s trying to work on exciting projects. he/him.

What I’ve done #

My first computer was a second-hand Commodore 64C. Even before I got it I was obsessed with computers and loved poring over magazines.

I loved the idea of making things. I tried to build stone axes and bows and arrows when I was 10. They barely worked and weren’t practical but I did manage to get home-made weapons banned from my primary school.

I went to college to study Science and chose Physics and Computer Science options. Looking back I realise that I was suffering pretty badly from anxiety and had very poor study skills.

I dropped out.

Decades later I feel like I haven’t achieved much. My CV feels embarassing. I still suffer from anxiety.

But I still have dreams of making things and learning how things work.

So lets try again.

Let’s Do things and Tell people about them.

What I’m going to do #

I’ve made plenty of plans before and not made progress with them. On this site I want to report on how things have gone.

I’m interested in programming, woodwork, game development, writing and languages. It would be amazing to generate an income from doing something I enjoy.
