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 1046 - English monks recorded no man then alive could remember so severe a winter as this was. Their analog weather blog entry recorded the beginning of the Little Ice Age.
• On this day in 1931 - Friedrich Schmiedl launched the first rocket mail (V-7, Experimental Rocket 7) with 102 pieces of mail between Schckl and St. Radegund, Austria.
• On this day in 1935 - Detective Leonarde Keeler, co-inventor of the Keeler polygraph, tried the lie detector on two suspected criminals in Portage, Wisconsin. Both suspects were convicted of assault.
