I'm your casual always has been gamer type who plays all sorts of stuff mixed with a bit of collector, else I like cooking, photographing and bycicle rides. I started tinkering with soldering irons and circuit boards around one year ago when my apprentice ship started where I work with this a lot. Although I'm not very tallented e.g. shaky hands and clumsiness I'm striding to become a pro one day. Currently looking to modchip my ps2 for the fun and stumbled over this forum and thought I'd drop in. That's about all the irrelevant mentionworthy information I can think of.
