I guess I have been too lazy for too long, anyway here goes. I plan to write about a variety of topics, not limted to technology.

After finishing high school I took a “Bachelor of Engineering Technology (Electrotechnology)” degree at CPIT here in Christchurch. This was a degree covering a wide range of topics including: control system engineering electrical engineering computer engineering electronic engineering engineering management In my final year of study, I did a research project for Link Engine Management. The project was using DSP techniques to analyse engine vibrations and automatically feedback information to the engine control computer.
