Hello World!
I'm Paul and have just moved back to Christchurch, New Zealand to work on my Master in Emergency Management.
I've been in Rio de Janeiro for over twenty years working with at-risk youth and community disaster resilience projects.
Before that I was a computer programmer, back when computer programming meant that you had some idea of what was actually going on inside the system, and hardware could seriously hurt you if it fell on you... those were the good days!
@pdcull Hi!
Although, I definitely work with hardware that could seriously injure if it fell on you. In fact, had a badly bruised hand for several days when the rails on a 40-50lb server buckled as I was trying to find a latch earlier this year.
@pdcull @natecull that's one reason why I like embedded programming: it's just you and the hardware
