About Me
Something little about this obscured corner of interweb
Guess I should add some credibility to this blog. Well... I call myself Teti (or Tetka) since gameplay of Ultima Online in late 90's, but my real name is !£$%!^£$. My dragon lair is located in the Kent, UK. My background is industrial automatization / electronic engineering which I've studied in late 90's, but never actually done it for living utill now as hobby. IT and consequntialy graphic desing took over after college. Yes and I forgot... I have few years Telecom experience with one of the British operators.
I’d like to consider myself as vintage audio gear connoisseur, computer enthusiast, time nut, music lover, vintage games gamer, nerd, tinkerer and shady electronic projects maker. Formally audiophile passionate into music but not bullshit served by high end hi-fi industry. Golden fuses and wooden blocks under speaker cables… Gimme a break!
For last few years I’ve been mesmerised by electronics, time nutting (god this sounds creepy :) ) ԅ(≖‿≖ԅ), vintage computers and all sorts of weird and wonderful. ─=≡Σ((( つ◕ل͜◕)つ Througout the years I have undercome many electronics project, however my true passion in electronics really took off since Covid lockdown in early 2021. Prior to that I have been working on our house which we purchased few years ago and now I have my own man cave where I can do some crazy science. Man this electronics hobby thing is a steep learning curve!

What's the fuss all about then?

I don't know much, but even the little I know might helps you and maybe, just maybe after you read few articles little thought will cross your mind and you say: "yeah I can give it a shot, why not?"

... but if you feel like getting something for nothing isn't your cup of tea (completely understandable) (ಥ﹏ಥ) and a prefer to support me and get something back in return, then you can purchase directly on my eBay or Tindie shop. However if you are still up for an adventure */in very positive way/* (and are happy to have PCB's made yourself in your favourite PCB house - PCBWay is highly recommended), then carry on, download gerber files and have fun! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
