Retired Medical Scientist (Clinical Biochemist and Medical Microbiologist)
I previously used CorelDRAW for graphic design and sign-making but I am now transitioning to Inkscape. As an experienced CorelDRAW user (20 years) I am finding Inkscape exciting to use, very user friendly, intuitive, and it even seems to have more features and alternatives like the choice of "First selected, Last selected" for example, and being able to match left edges to right edges.
As president of our local Men's Shed. I have installed Inkscape on all of our Men's Shed computers and hope to be able to teach members how to use it to create vector diagrams for our CNC router and other applications. I have joined the forum in the hope of having some backup in this regard, to have someone to ask when I am confronted with a difficult question not easily answered by trial and error or reference to written support material.
As for personal Bio information, my life is, or has been, involved with:
- working in pathology as a biochemist of microbiologist or chief medical scientist (25yrs)
- working as a qualified chef (4yr apprenticeship + college degrees) (20yrs and ongoing)
- working on ocean going ships as a chef (6yrs)
- yachting as a sport (50yrs)
- distilling as a hobby (10yrs)
- making craft beers and studying beer-making as a hobby (5yrs)
- woodturning (8yrs)
- Men's Shed (8yrs) (woodwork and metalwork)
I'm pleased to now be on this Inkscape journey and look forward to meeting some of you along the way.
Cheers, James
