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.

• On this day in 1935 - A Time magazine article described the use of the pattern of capillaries in the retina as a means of identification called eye prints. Hello biometrics!
• On this day in 1947 - John Bardeen and Walter Brattain applied two closely spaced gold contacts held in place by a plastic wedge to the surface of a small slab of high-purity germanium. It was the next step in the development of the Transistor.
• On this day in 2002 - Creative Commons formally launched, unveiling Machine-Readable Copyright Licenses and a revamped website.
