Who is this Nerd anyway?

So just who am I? Well I was born in Inverness a very long time ago. I moved to Aberdeen when I did a degree in Electronic and Information Engineering at Robert Gordon's University. After that I had a business in Inverness for a few years but then I came back to Aberdeen to work in the oil industry. One night I moved 1500kg of Unix workstations into the kitchen of my third floor flat, at that point I decided I needed a more suitable house so I moved to Aviemore in the Highlands.

I program Java/C++ for a living and write underwater survey software. I used to buy and sell used workstations, BMW parts and ran my own brand Strathspey Binoculars. The binoculars were excellent, Brexit killed the business alas. I'm a firm believer in Scottish Independence and rejoining the EU.

As you may have noticed I've very into BMWs, especially older models. Any car with a screen in the centre console is too modern for me and a clutch pedal is mandatory. I also enjoy cycling, cross country skiing, annoying my cats and making curries.
