Hi everyone! I'm Ben and I like long walks on the beach.

Oh...

I've been in Indonesia for almost 5 years, married to an Indonesian, and we have the cutest 2 year old daughter.

I used to frequent the other maybe two years ago. I think the reason for inactivity for so long is due to me finally finding something fun and useful to do instead of being a deadbeat and watching TV series all day, also having a child has taken a bit of time.

What I do now involves learning quite a bit and on my own. I'm about programming for Arduino and Android devices, building an arcade machine, and also will be building some machines for recycling plastic (shredder, injection molding, maybe extruder and compression forming.) Plastic machine schematics and introduction videos can be found at www.preciousplastic.com if you're curious.

No promises on always being active, but I'll make an effort.

HAH! I moved away from it for 3 years but moved back to it about a month or so ago.

I miss Gading Serpong with its major conveniences within itself, no need to leave it unless I want to be social although my wife works in Jakarta which is kinda far and annoying to deal with the traffic from there. If traffic isnt annoying here in Ciledug, it can take me 25 minutes to get to Gading Serpong thanks to the new toll entrance. Sure beats the hour it used to take...although I dont really live in Gading Serpong anymore so it doesnt matter too much.
