I am based in Hertfordshire in the United Kingdom.

I first became interested in computer programming in the early 1980s when the ZX Spectrum, BBC Micro and Amstrad CPC were popular home computers. In those days a typical computer would have 32K of RAM and most programs were loaded from cassette tape.
