I'm a recovering alcoholic, I am also recovering from severe depression. I'm an Apple Mac fan and general computer lover. I enjoy Hypercard on the Mac and Visual Basic on Windows and love coming up with small programming exercises, particularly to solve magazine 'brainteaser' type puzzles. I also enjoy reading (generally Science and Philosophy) and can cook quite well. I'm married with one child.

I have to thank my mentor for the fact that I graduated from the mentoring programme (Please spell that word properly!) ;-P

He, and others, made my passage to Supervisordom easy and embarrassment-free (almost).

I welcome anyone to whom I respond to send a pm seeking any clarification they might want.



So, ooodles of contributions? Yeah maybe... or maybe I have to go back and edit my typing a bit too often!

I tend to only answer unanswered Qs. I do my WA-ing in spare moments snatched at work or while half-watching the TV, and don't think I'd be bothered reading and checking on other people's answers - unless asked to look at something in particular.
My way of looking at what I do here is "instant, off the cuff, responses to subjects I know something about, or where I know where to find the answers rapidly," I leave it to others to put flesh on the bones and have no problem with any answer I give being edited by someone more knowledgable than I.


Honesty time
I have a strange sense of humour (and was once known as EvilTony by colleagues because of it), so you may occasionally find a wry aside in my answers. A reference to Tweety-Pie springs to mind!
