BACKGROUND |
I have been working as
an Electrical Engineer in design for more than 14 years, however I've
been tinkering since I was a kid.
Back in 1996 my wife and I purchased our first home and I got interested
in Home Automation. I've also been brewing my own beer off and on since
1994, thus HomeBrew Engineering.
I have done loads of projects related to these hobbies and I have created
this site to share information and experiences with others who share my
interest. Currently, nothing here is for sale. I will publish things when
I have time. I have some ideas about commercial products but given the
amount of time I spend on my day job, that stuff is way off in the future.

The Road Not Taken
by Robert Frost
TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference. |
