Experienced with C, C++, VHDL, Verilog, Tcl, DOS, LISP (yes really), Novell Netware, UNIX, perl, awk, csh, bash etc.

The 36" I continue to work on. This is in use whenever weather permits.
The electronic workings. Mostly power supplies and a nixie tube counter but you can just about make out the ISA speedwire card being prodded by a friend. Also jars of Ribena and something that is supposed to be coffee.
