My introduction to computing happened quite by chance.

My nephew bought a secondhand Amstrad 64 that didn't work.

So I set about repairing it.

With limited knowledge in electronics I noticed that the BIOS (built in operating system) was loading but programs from the tape drive would not load onto the machine. This made me realize that the computing part was in-fact working however it was unable to retrieve data from the storage device ie: the cassette tape. So I realigned the heads to read the tape cartridge and eureka a computer was reborn. Needless to say my nephew allowed his uncle to share the computer and it was then my love of computing began. (so what I am a geek haha)

That was 15 years ago.

Today is not much different (I like solving puzzles)

When I envision something I will set about making an operating system capable of what i wish to do. UNIX in any flavor of course. UNIX, PHP, JavaScript combinations allow us the abilities to get insights about the client Geo-location data, Operating System, Screenwidth etc... just to name a few

Undoubtedly I will get stumped at some point and need to find code able to achieve the goals I wish. Google is my #1 mentor.

The answers I seek are usually in the stack exchange network. GCWCID (give credit where credit is due)
