| Walter began his engineering studies at the same time as his father. Walter was 4 at the time. Here he is doing part of his practical, on the Mechanical Engineering side. His father went on to become a steam engineer, then drove some of the world′s most massive winding engines and eventually retired from Mt Isa Mines after supervising the shafts and winding operations for 15 years | About to graduate in Science (majoring in Computer Science), no diploma yet in hand | At about the time Walter was registered by the UK's Engineering Council as a Chartered Engineer | At about the time Walter was elected a Chartered Fellow of the British Computer Society | Not what "An Overview of the Cloud" usually brings to mind in this day & age. Walter in 2014 just below the summit of Mauna Kea, the highest mountain in Hawaii by the usual reference of altitude above sea level but also by base-to-peak the world's highest mountain from its base almost 6km below the sea. Although Hawaii is lush & green at sea level up here (around 4 vertical km) it is just too harsh for any vegetation - and visitors have only 60% of the oxygen they do at sea level. |
