| Introduction | I am a Westfield College, London University Graduate, where as a PostGraduate student we were the third site in the UK to have a UNIX system Version 6. Although the 'C' language dominated most early software work, I now program in Eiffel, for reasons of Correctness and Reasoning about program reliability. I am an investor in Bacula Systems which provides commercial support for the Bacula backup system. Since selling the family business which I ran with my brother, Politics has dominated my life, and since BrExit day, that is finally running down, although other political and economic activity calls. Programming will again be a major part of my life. |
