After spending a few weeks lurking, it's time for an #introduction.
I'm Christian, based in southwestern #Germany after fleeing the Brexit fallout in the #UK. A #biologist by training, I spent a long time with #neurobiology research. Today I work for two small companies in the #fluorescence #microscopy and #motioncontrol fields.
I have been #sailing #dinghies for over three decades, with a partcular passion for highperformance #skiffs (still a beginner at sailing faster than the wind blows). Over a #boatbuilding project (a #Farr37 is still work in progress) I discovered #handtool #woodworking and now dabble in furniture making.
The meltdown of the Birdsite reminded me how much I miss #usenet - maybe Mastodon will be a good replacement?
@ChrisWilms23 This place is a great usenet replacement for now. All praise to our moderators!
@hasmis It was what made Mastodon so appealing to me. It is not a "Birdsite replacement", but so much more.
