These pages are an attempt to shake off the bit-mould from the many software projects I have started, and mostly not finished over the years. Some of this stuff is very usable, some of it needs work.

I also hope to document some of the more interesting projects I've undertaken.

In additional to that it is an aide-mémoire to little bits of problem solving I frequently encounter day to day.

The Source code section provides downloadable source code to some of the software projects here. Where available binaries are also provided. A lot of projects I have coded over the years have been written in Borland Delphi, mainly because that is what I started using 20 years ago. 

From Tom Merritt's Chronology of Tech History

• On this day in 1958 - The first known radio broadcast from outer space was transmitted. US President Eisenhower spoke from a pre-recorded tape aboard the Project SCORE experimental satellite. Redundancy paid off as the first recording failed but the backup worked.
• On this day in 1974 - The Altair 8800 microcomputer from Micro Instrumentation Telemetry Systems in Albuquerque, New Mexico went on sale. For 9 you got everything you needed to build a computer in one kit boasting 256 bytes of memory!
