Wibbly Wobbly Idiot Vision
English bloke who's been living in the French Alps for the past 20 years, I like buggering about with old machines, and learning stuff. A software engineer by trade, but I've also been a house painter, chairlift driver, motorcycle courier, industrial mechanic, professional juggler, and electrician, amongst other things.
What I'm most definitely not, is adept with a camera. You'll get wibbly wobbly handheld stuff, lack of focus, wavery focus, pointing at the wrong thing, lots of umms and errs. You get what you pay for :)
My name's not really Michel, it's an old handle I used for scambaiting back in the day - M.Auron = "moron", and having a thick, Clouseau-esque french accent on the phone allowed me to close conversations with "fuck you very much".
