Thanks! It’s grown over the years. But it’s only several days per year not messy ;).

Since I am 5 years old I fiddle around with electronics. But in the beginning I had no idea what it was. My father gave me some parts and a breadboard and a 4.5V battery. I build up strange things beside him until he build up “real serious” things on his breadboard. The first LEDs and 7-segment displays are my favorites. Most of the stuff I blew up. I remember connecting all pins from a 4011 CMOS on one side to plus and all on the other over LEDs to minus. Those were the days… 😉

BTW: I can’t longer edit my previous post so I must correct it here. I meant 25 km south not 50. Sorry.
