Fame is ephemeral. Anonymity, for ever.

Belonging, by training, to the old guild of Industrial Technical Engineers, although $DEITY led me down other paths. I’ve been working surrounded by telecom engineers for many years, and so far everything is going well. They didn’t notice.

You will see that in hardware projects many (or maybe all) of the PCBs are signed as “fogheteiro”. It all started as a joke: they asked me to write an article on the Bricolabs wiki and they had to give me a user. I had recently participated in an OSHWDEM with a robot baptized as “Foghete” (rocket, in Galician), so there was no other choice and “fogheteiro” was my user.
