I’m currently in Edinburgh, studying BSc UX Design at Edinburgh Napier University, where I’m in my third and final year. I’m completing my honours project, where I’m building a home-usable library management system specifically aimed at old books which don’t have ISBN data. It’s going very well and I’m getting a bit lost in research and enjoying it very much. Not long to go now until it’s over though! After that I’ll be on the hunt for a job.
I’ve been really enjoying amateur recently. I’ve been very active on 2m and 70cm in Edinburgh, and I’m having a lot of fun talking to people in the local area. I’m researching SOTA at the moment, and looking to try and do my first summit very soon (after already having climbed up a SOTA summit with my radio sort of unknowingly!). I’ve taken the time to finally set up my page on qrz.com for people looking me up on there, and using a little trick you can do, you should be able to use both my Scottish (MM7XXI) and English (M7XXI) callsigns to look me up as I pretty regularly use both. I often hang around on GB3ED for anyone near Edinburgh!
Mostly stuff related to honours at the moment, so that is documentation for the various programming languages I’m using, and literature related to the history and operation of libraries, and libraries within the home. My current book which I’m getting through at about a word a week at the moment is “The English Cathedrals” (Pelton and Harvey, 1950), a very interesting look at the social and architectural history of the seats of ecclesiastical power in England.
