Colin Wenzel.


My name is Colin Wenzel.

I was born in AUSTRALIA, in the state of New South Wales. (NSW). in 1960. (Wow !! That was a while ago, seems like just yesterday ?) I lived in NSW until I was 10 or 11. then we moved to Queensland. I now live on the SUNSHINE COAST in a town called MOOLOOLABA. It is about 100km North of Brisbane.

From about 17, I have been: (in chronological order)

1: A Telecom Technician.
2: An Announcer. (doing voice overs for ads)
3: Cinema & Drive-In Theatre Projectionist.
4: Bannana & Zuccini (marrow) Farmer. (dads farm, I had to pay the rent.)
5: Audio Technician, (repairing sound equipment) for a chain of theatres.
6: Audio & Television Technician. (my first shop)
7: Amiga owner. (1986) Well it was a major job paying for it !! A1000+4MB RAM BOARD. It cost me $1800.00 I needed to learn about computers, because they started appearing in TV's. Started programming in BASIC, Then in 'C', Then with ASM, then others.
8: Electronics Technician, Computer Programmer.
Started writing Business software for my shop.
9: Added Hardware Engineer to my forte'. I now manufacture miscellaneous 680xx based hardware & periferals. Needed to learn: Lattice PDS + Pic-ASM too. I still write a lot of software.

So there you have it, I have been rather busy. I have never married & currently rent a house in town. I am the oldest of 2 children, I have a sister who is 7 years younger & married with 2 children & lives about 40km away, 8 km from my parents farm.

So there is my life so far, I plan on not making plans. I like to improvise.






THINGS I LOVE & HATE:


LOVE: SEX..........But I dont get much anymore.
LOVE: COFFEE.......I drink litres of it.
LOVE: STAR TREK....Any variants, Also Sci-Fi in general.

HATE: COMMERCIALS.......Selling garbage to the idiot masses.
HATE: BAD LINKS......Links that take you directly to oblivion.
