Welcome to my blog. I’ve been blogging on various platforms since 1994, back in the days when the internet was only accessible via a screechy 14.4bps modem and resulted in expensive telephone bills. I migrated all my other posts over to my own self-hosted site in 2004, and have been maintaining it myself as a hobby and learning experience ever since.
Please feel free to comment and give your feedback on any of my posts, it is so very greatly appreciated. Please do be kind though, there are posts from such a long time ago that they may now be rendered non-sensical in modern times.
