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.

I'm not online as often as I used to be, but I still visit SE almost every day.
