[Nottingham] hello

[Dennis Furr]

I've been an IT professional for 30 years and worked in electronics before
that.  I've recently decided to go semi-retired by starting an e-waste
recycling hobby/business.  I normally run Regolith on my workstations and
Ubuntu on my servers.  I'm equally split on the idea of creating automation
to recycle e-waste and actually doing the work.
