I guess I should do #introduction? For all the people who aren't following me. ;-)
Ahem. I'm a #software engineer and a (mostly) PC #gamer, although I can't play FPS games because motion sickness. I''ve got an undergrad degree in #computerscience and a masters in #oceanography (yes, I know that's an unusual combination). I worked in airborne and #satellite #remotesensing (mostly) of the oceans for twelve years (a few publications but nothing first-author, I was doing tech rather than science) before gradually drifting back to software engineering via weather radar. Also spent most of that time as a #tradeunion rep - strong believer in the necessity of collective bargaining and collective action as a counterbalance to over-emphasised executive/management power.
Mostly coding in #python these days and trying to get my head around #aws.
@Sathyabhat Ack, it's a curse! I remember the first time I tried to play Half Life... didn't last long! 😂
@VoxDei hah, I know what you mean.. when I was a kid I tried doom , quake, Half life and couldn’t go beyond 10 mins tops. Most recent game I tried *again* was Bioshock Infinite maybe about 5 years or so ago, with custom mod to increase the FOV.. nope not beyond 30 mins. I have made my peace! I play mostly RPGS (Diablo etc) or City builders / 4x now
