The prevailing attitude that "Memory is Cheap" doesn't cut it in the world of Embedded Systems. I get code to fit into parts (others have picked), that are too small. I translate code between different micros and compilers. Besides the software aspects of things I also do micro design, analog design, power supply design, and board layout.
During the heyday of the Dot Com boom I was the lead author of Circuit
Cellar Online's Resource Links. Steve Ciarcia said I set the standard by which
other link sites were judged, at that time.
I was also a paid member of the Circuit Cellar AskUs staff.
From the final "Connect Time" in Circuit Cellar Issue #80, March 1997:
"I do want to thank a few individuals who have contributed above and
beyond the call over the last 10 years (and, I'm hopeful, for years to
come). Specifically, **Bob Paddock**, Pellervo Kaskinen, George Novacek,
Jim Meyer, and Ed Nisley. I could always count on one of these sharp
guys to have an intelligent, well-thought-out answer to some of the most
off-the-wall questions I've ever seen." - Ken Davidson former SYSOP/Editor-In-Chief Circuit Cellar
