I have been toying with the idea of setting up a tech blog, not only to share my experiences hoping to make someone’s life a bit easier, but also as a journal to to go back to for future reference. I am now 40 you know, so sometimes, I am trying to solve a problem, which I know and am sure I have already solved in the past, but just can’t figure out how I did it. Hopefully this blog will mitigate this problem, and perhaps also make the life of someone else just a tad easier.
Here, if all goes well, you will find some stuff about Microchip pics, stuff about linux which I passionately love and hate in equal measure, some stuff about virtualization, and maybe stuff about android, depending on how much free time and energy I have left at the end of the day.
About Me
My name is Johann, and I live in the sunny island of Malta. When not playing with the soldering iron or debugging some code, you will most likely find me out and about on my mountain bike, along with my Garmin Edge 1030, and my iPhone, running the Strava app, seeing if I can beat my wife’s (Maria) time uphill. (That never ever happens but one lives in hope, and yeah … I love my gadgets).
I am an animal lover, and absolutely adore dogs.
A note about the tutorials and posts in this blog
In the posts which will appear from time to time, and in no specific pattern, you will find names of servers, service providers and products I have used / still use and have or have had direct experience with. I have NO AFFILIATION WHATSOEVER with the service providers, or product sellers mentioned in my blog posts. If you see a blog post about a service provider or a particular product, it just means that I have used / or am using their services or their products, and you will find notes about my experience with the particular service or product..
