Welcome weary traveller. I'm glad you made it. Let me introduce myself - I am Gerald and I am a developer. I started out programming an Acorn Electron in 1984, learning BBC BASIC and 6502 assembler, moving upwards to a BBC Master Compact and Acorn Archimedes. Still developing in BBC BASIC on RISC OS, I then got introduced to Pascal at college, before taking up a job as a software engineer using Delphi (the first version). This was about the time when the World Wide Web was introduced, so I began dabbling in

In these pages, I have decided to share some of my code. But, be warned - I do not subscribe to the 'common' standard of formatting code. For example - why put the opening brace on the same line as the function declaration? Surely it makes sense to put it on the next line so that it will line up with the closing brace? This probably comes from my Pascal and Delphi background where the begin and end statements line up.

So, I can code - but my aesthetic skills are crap. I am not a designer. This is probably obvious.
