hello,
Well, I suppose one of the good things about being stuck at home without a virus is that I can at last log on to this forum during the day again.
My company asked us, some time ago, to prepare personal resilience plans so I've plenty to do here. They have now asked as many of us as possible to work from home and whilst I do have to go in to fix broken electrical things, have skype meetings and access stuff on the company computer, I'm not doing too badly - Day 2 in the small Zs House. I have the rotring pens out and am drawing a switch cabinet in the old fashioned way.
Anyway, I'm going to be preparing really basic electrical lessons for some of our younger engineers and the generally curious. I already have about 15 students and various managers keep phoning to say can you put Joe on the list please. It seems to be something they've been needing for a while.
So, I have no doubt that I am going to be asking you to check my basic understanding of things and not least to check my maths for me. To this day that is still not very good.
But I have a question for you about copyright. If you were to be emailing colleagues with information (which might not even be correct but I hope it will be), and in effect producing a basic introduction to electrical theory. Would you do anything to protect it? In my opinion it will belong to the company because I am being paid by them while I sit at home. Our department who deals with that are, as you can imagine rather busy and on skeleton staff. My other concern is that loads of the examples will be utter plagiarism. So ought I to give citations?
I remember JP producing some really helpful information which he shared with his I&T team. Eventually I started to see it on the web as the work of others. Even one post of it on here from a claimed author. I smiled only yesterday when looking for a copy of table I1 from the on site guide and up came JPs document in the images.
I would appreciate any advice or experiences on that.
in the mean time, seeing as it is on the company public web site you might like to see what on earth Zs has been up to for all this time. I was a touch reluctant to do this article for them because as many of you know, I don't subscribe to Women's networks. It was the news of protests and arrests elsewhere in the world that made me sit up and think how lucky we are in the UK so I agreed. this should be a link to a recent thingumy. I did also wonder whether to chuckle or sob when I realised I am now officially, the token oldie ?.

Good to be back,
