Well, you clicked yourself here, so you must
want to
know a bit more about me!
Where do I start? I studied physics at Oxford
til 1983
and worked in aerospace in a variety of
computer-related roles until
1993, when I started getting interested in
writing shareware programs
for the Psion. One thing led to another, and I
ended up starting the
3-Lib
PD & shareware library, which has now
grown to harbour over
two thousand separate items, and which has seen
many thousand customers
use my services! I also wrote for Palmtop and
then Palmtop User
magazine, specialising in all things Symbian and
performing various other duties around the PDA
and smartphone world,
not all visible to
the uninitiated...
From 2005 to 2020 my main activities centred
around the All
About web sites (AAS and AAWP), plus running The
Phones Show and writing occasionally for
AndroidBeat and iPhoneHacks.
After the death of my father, circumstances and
health have required a slowdown, but I still
produce YouTube
Shorts and host the Phones
Show Chat podcast.
I've been very happily married since 1989 to
Fiona,
who was a teacher and recently retired, and we
had Rachel just before the millennium  .
We're both Christians and, although neither of
us is
going to bash you over the head with a bible,
you could follow this
link to find out more ... Most people have
some kind of dramatic
incident they can point to which was significant
in their lives, I
think ours was a car accident in which our camper
was hit by a Granada
doing 90mph. Our vehicle was thrown in the air
and we did a complete
360 degree barrel roll, landing right side up
with no glass
broken and
not a scratch on either of us!! The drivers who
stopped behind the
accident were completely dumbfounded when we
just opened up the van
doors and strolled out to survey the write-off!
You know the saying
that 'someone up there was looking after you'?
Well, that day, Someone
certainly was.
I'm constantly amazed at this incredible world
we live
in, and dumbfounded at the thought of life after
death, and the only way
I can make sense of either is through faith in a
eternal God and a way
to somehow get close to Him through the
existence of Jesus.
I do have a personal 'Rants
'n'
Raves' blog, though what you find there is
totally eclectic!
