I have split things up by topic - with some general stuff on this page.
Jay and Irene have recently cycled from Lands End to John O'Groats
For the last fifteen or twenty years I have been going out to take photos of main line steam trains, mostly in the Midlands. I include a few of the best here.
"Rood Ashton Hall" with a Pannier tank banking on the Lickey Bank. 14th October 2001
The 'Flying Carpet' with two 'Halls' crosses the Dudley canal at Oldhill - 3rd March 2001
Green Arrow leaving Burton on its way to York - 24th Feb 2001
I guess I learnt most of what I know about the computer business during my 30 years with IBM, but I retired (early, and with a nice package) in 1996 and did support and development work, still on AS, for ASTRAC Ltd., a small software house now based in Warwick who took the product over from IBM. I am now retired fully after working there full-time, and then part-time for over ten years.
At IBM I spent the last 13 years developing and supporting a decision support product called Application System, and a group of developers who used to work on AS now meet in a pub as the WAS group every month or so.
