Welcome.

So it would seem that you have stumbled across my little corner of the internet. 

Here you will find diaries documenting my running a fleet of classic cars, information on lighting technology through the years, and pages documenting some items from my collection of vintage technology and computing.  Each of these areas has its own section linked to from the frame to the left of this page (if the frame is missing because you've arrived here from an external link click here to reload the whole page).

I welcome constructive feedback on everything here, whether positive or not, or just random queries about pretty much anything, and very much enjoy hearing people thoughts on the site.  So if you want, drop me a line, response times to email do vary, but I do attempt to respond to every one I get regarding this website. 

3 MOST RECENT UPDATES:

15th March 2023: Added the Toshiba T1950CT laptop computer to the Vintage Technology Section.  I've implemented some changes to how images are handled with this page - so they should now dynamically scale according to the viewport size as reported by your browser.  This should make things far more pleasant if you're viewing the site on a modern high resolution display (no more postage stamp sized in line pictures), and should also play more nicely with mobile devices - most notably in that it should for the first time ever make the site actually readable in portrait mode.  If you run into any issues let me know.  On the same note I have fixed the images on the page of the Prinztronic Mini 7 Calculator - it used to require continual scrolling back and forth to view on some mobile devices.  I know there are a few pages affected by this, I'll try to get them fixed shortly.  It's not a difficult job, just a bit tedious.

9th March 2023: Tidied up the links page a little (sorted everything in each section alphabetically rather than just what order they were added in) and added a new links to Caps Wiki.

21st December 2022: Added some actual body text to the page for the Peugeot 306 Sedan...which has just consisted of a single photograph since...uuuh...about mid 2015 I think.

I participate in a number of distributed computing projects through the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC) platform.  My current credit count for the projects I am (or have been) involved in is listed below.
