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 1876 - Thomas Edison received a US patent for a mimeograph, which, combined with an invention by A. B. Dick, led to the first widely successful mimeograph machine.
  • On this day in 1908 - For the first time in public, Wilbur Wright showed off the Wright Brothers flying machine at the racecourse in Le Mans, France. French doubts about the Wright Brothers claims to flight were put to rest for the time being.
  • On this day in 2007 - Barbara Morgan became the first educator to safely reach space on the US Space Shuttle Endeavour.
