Impulse buy? Ok, maybe I didn't need this one but .. Come on.. The guy that was selling it lived in the same city as me and he just wanted 150 Euro for it. I had to buy it...
I got myself a programmer, some PICs and started to learn. I had to do the compulsory "blinking LED" but after that I continued to see if I could do what I wanted.
I have always been interested in electronics and synthesizers. I studied electrical engineering in the first year of college but I dropped out due to poor motivation, not liking mathematics and laziness and things like that :)
A while later I started studying Computer Science which I eventually got my degree in.
Recently my interest in music and electronics started to come back and I am sort of trying to pick up where I left around 15 years ago.
