I describe myself as one of those vague computery occupations that careers officers don't know what to call. I suppose "Systems Analyst/Programmer/Administrator" is probably the nearest, but I am also skilled in mapping and map-making and like wandering up and down hills.

My experience goes back over twenty-five years and covers Z80, 6502 and ARM code, BBC BASIC, C, VisualBasic FORTH and others and DOS, Windows, RISC OS, Unix, CPM and BBC systems, and network and internet administration. I have recently retired from 11 years as a member of Sheffield City Council.

mdfs.net contains software and documentation covering such subjects as Acorn BBCs, Econet and networking, SJ Research Fileservers, Z80, 6502 and ARM code, C programming, Co-processors and Tube systems, Harston Advanced Disk Filing System, BBC Public Domain, CP/M, Jet Set Willy.

I studied Computing Science at Stirling University with minors in Education, Environmental Science and Japanese. I got my Electrical Installation diploma at Sheffield College's Loxley Centre (which used to be Stannington College). I now live in Tarland.
