		      Date of Birth: 7th January 1969

My main interest is in computers and computing, writing computer programs
and designing and building computer hardware; almost all the software that
I use I have written myself.  I have experience of C, Pascal, Modula 2,
Cobol, Visual-Basic, Basic and BBC Basic, and pdp11, 6809, 6502 and Z80
machine code, and of UNIX, VMS, MSDOS and BBC operating systems.  I
also have experience of technical writing.  I specialise in Acorn BBC
microcomputer systems, particularly Econet and co-processor systems, and
use C, BBC Basic, 6502, ARM and Z80 machine code.  I also have experience
of programming and using Archimedes machines, and experience with PCs and
Visual Basic.  For two years while I was at school I was the de facto
computer systems manager, maintaining a BBC computer network system for
which I was awarded a school service prize.  I used to run a BBC Public
Domain software library in which I put many of the programs I write.

I have conversational fluency in Japanese, French and German and my
language study has given me an understanding of language structure which I
have put to use in my English teaching.  At University I studied Education
which I put to good use in my teaching posts.
