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 1979 - The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was first published unleashing in book form the world of Vogon Poetry, essential towel behavior, and the BabelFish.
• On this day in 2001 - Polaroid Corporation filed for federal bankruptcy protection, killed off by one-hour developing and the rise of digital cameras. Bank One bought most of the company and re-launched a Polaroid that went on to stop making cameras and film.
• On this day in 2005 - After previously assuring us nobody wanted to watch videos on an iPod, Steve Jobs reversed course and Apple started making videos available on iTunes. ABC/Disney was the only TV network available at the time but you could get episodes of Lost and Desperate Housewives the day after they aired.
