Personal bits

I am married and have a daughter. I enjoy motorcycling, cycling, playing the guitar, playing the saxophone with the University of Glamorgan's Big Band: A470s, reading and watching TV - but not all at the same time.

Author of the mega-methodology Death-Or-Glory Programming (DOG-P).

Some amusing quotes I collected via email.
