Property Development
This is something we are
seeking to expand professionally, but it's also something we enjoy!
There is a genuine sense of accomplishment taking a neglected property
and bringing it back to a presentable condition.
Radio
Control/Robotics/Home Automation
-
I enjoy just about
anything considered 'geeky', including IT in all its forms, finding
new/novel uses for IT & technology,
radio control (I have submitted
3 of my modified vehicles
here,
(1 with a scratch built chassis)) - I want to expand
on this by delving into robotics and home automation (if I have the
time!).
To Relax
Goals
-
There does seem to be some demand for Alex Nesling to host
sites! So after sorting out client website backups and redundancy I
need to offer server side extensions.
Done!
-
And this will be followed by an email server (the aim is to
offer a total online package). I will either use Linux for this, or
maybe FreeBSD. Demand insufficient so not needed!
-
Compile a list of links (and
maybe take this further and put all relevant applications onto a
downloadable .iso) targeted towards venue owners. The aim is to
offer a complete, FREE (no operating system, application or
licensing costs) suite of applications so a venue owner can install
a file server, perform automated backups, perform office duties,
design a website, etc. Done! See
here.
-
To continue to increase my IT knowledge and skills (re: To Do list,
shown at the bottom of
this page) and thereby increase the IT
capabilities offered by Alex Nesling. This also means having a real
world goal of undertaking more IT installations (notably in the
entertainment/club/pub sector) (Current!), and write an article or 2 of my
experiences (Done! - go
here
for details).
-
Continue to expand my
knowledge of Linux (Current!)
-
To learn to program. I
have dabbled with scripts, java and visual basic, but am now rusty.
Want to become proficient in C++.
-
To expand our property
development business (Aborted). Due to current economic
environment, this isn't viable. However, we have other plans in the
pipeline!
-
To find new/novel uses
of IT. I love to travel, and have always wanted to fly. It seems to
me it might be interesting to equip a microlight with hi-tech gear,
travel, and upload in real-time (or near enough) images, video,
text, etc of my experiences to a website. If successful a book could
be generated from this. Not looking for recognition - purely the fun
I would have doing this!
-
In keeping with the above, I want to
travel abroad extensively via a motorhome. I will buy a second hand
motorhome and restore it and fully equip it with GPS, SatNav, fully
loaded entertainment system comprising of flat screen, PC with DVD
player, hard disk loaded with films and music. The PC will have
online access to enable emailing, telephone (VoIP), access to
home/work servers to administer any problems, store/upload photos
and video clips, webcams to video talk with home and help with
reversing/parking, etc. Dashboard PDA SatNav unit will be networked
to main PC to control media content, and display parking/reversing
webcam output.
-
Have motorbike riding
lessons (Course Booked!). Update: CBT completed.
-
After next round of
network upgrades/completing To Do list, and maybe an installation or 2,
seek 'Chartered Status' from The BCS.
-
Do another MCP exam (and/or any other
appropriate courses/exams to keep abreast).
