About
I'm an Engineer, who has inherited the family business (Thanks Dad (JC Taylor, 1938-2011 - RIP) after working in it for 25 years, designing and building scientific instruments. I do electronic and mechanical design and manufacture, as well as write code. I moderate three forums, one, for the wonderful 101 Forward Control Landrover, one on Yahoo for earth sheltered houses, and the other on the 8052 microcontroller. I have started working with the Arduino, and have several exciting little hardware projects in the pipeline. I am offering weekend courses in machine shop practice in my shop in the UK. I am Lizzyastro's husband, and Willywoozle and Jonnybo111's father. I was on the feature team of Ibles for some time, until they kicked me out for attempting to get them to develop customer service.

I was going to ask - "what on earth are you always doing commenting on my stuff at ridiculous hours of the morning"...I post all night on my shiftwork 911 job...you must be mad to be awake at this hour...

Then I realized that you're of course 110 degrees around the planet from me 7 hours ahead...then I felt silly....then I typed this.

My extended family is all up north there, Rotherham (Sunnyside) and an uncle/his family in the south (Calne, near London)...

I've got to make a visit one of these years.  It's been ages since I saw the UK.

Fantastic news!  I'll make it a conscious effort to visit next time I'm around (makes a 15 hour flight that much more worthwhile) :)

Oh, okay. Thanks! I've been considering reading it, but haven't had the chance. Now I see there's a deeper meaning, I may be more motivate to grab a copy.
