About

Retired producer of safety-critical software. Erstwhile contributor to ISO programming standards

Internet user since 1982 - the days of 300bd dialup.
Now travels about in an old VW campervan seeking enlightenment
and all those experiences I never had time for when working.

Currently a trustee of a charity that provides assistance with computer use and learning to the elderly.
