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 1766 - James Christie held his first sale on Pall Mall in London. Christies still operates auctions today and is much more civilized than EBAY.
- On this day in 1901 - At 2156 Tripp Avenue in Chicago, Elias and Flora welcomed their new baby boy into the world. They had no idea at the time that Mickey Mouse had also come into the world along with their son, Walt Disney.
- On this day in 1901 - Physicist Werner Heisenberg was born. We may not measure both his precise position and precise momentum at the same time, but we are certain he was born in Wurzburg, Germany.
