Welcome 

 

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 1880 - The Edison Electric Illuminating Company of New York was incorporated to install a central generating station in New York City. New Yorkers know it now as ConEd.
  • On this day in 1903 - Orville Wright successfully made a flight in a heavier-than-air machine that took off from level ground under its own power and was controlled during flight. Its generally considered the first airplane flight.
  • On this day in 1997 - John Barger coined the term weblog to describe his list of links on his site Robot Wisdom. Peter Merholz would later shorten it to just blog.
