Someone once said that there is more to be learned from listening than talking. I like to use this as my excuse for being (mostly) a lurker. I have built several different types of clocks, including a Numitron based clock which was featured a while back in the Nuts and Volts magazine, and made available as a kit. I like old electronics, so many tubes are included in my (fairly large) inventory of “things”. I hyphenated that word since my wife calls it entirely something different. I was educated as an electronics engineer (back when transistors were just a curiosity…..) but ended up in mechanical engineering as a profession. I suppose that was good at some level, since not everyone likes their job and hobby to be the same. I do lament the lackluster interest the younger generation seems to have for the “basics”, they seem much happier to plug a fruity board into a shield, load a prebuilt software library, and call it a project. Some would not know the difference between a Volt and an Amp.
Anyhow, I am (mostly) just a retired and lurking Old Phart…… Bill van Dijk From: neonixie-l [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, September 19, 2018 11:03 AM To: neonixie-l <[email protected]> Subject: [neonixie-l] Welcome & please introduce yourself! Ladies & Gentlemen,,, We are getting a steady stream of new members - it'd be great if, instead of just lurking, you could introduce yourselves with a bit of detail about your interests, what you've built or intend to build/dream of building. Even what gets you up the morning and makes you smile! Welcome, one and all to this great community!
