🧑‍💻 Software

I started programming as a kid, and have enjoyed it for about 40 years or so. Less than a decade left before I lose my memory, this set of pages acts as less volatile storage, if not for code then at least a bit of a record of the projects I’ve worked on.

Note there’s a lot of stuff and this is ongoing, so it’ll be a while before all the links work.
