Well, I have several addictions vying for my time.  I'm a career  
electronics technician, where I currently build and troubleshoot the  
engineering prototypes for my company.  In order to obtain relief from  
working under magnification assembling surface mount electronics, I  
build and service vacuum tube equipment as a hobby.  I also play the  
guitar, and enjoy building my own amps (tube and solid state) as well  
as effects pedals, etc.

I have the hardware down pat.  Building and wiring circuits is second  
nature to me.  Now I'm trying to add a bit of programming experience  
to the mix.  I'm just old enough at 45 that I didn't see the total  
merger of computer technology with electronics, so I never bothered to  
study any programming languages.

Now that I want to mix the old and new myself - Nixie or VFD clocks,   
frequency counters, etc, I need to learn some assembly and C to  
complete the tasks I want to do.
