Technical Interests
I'm an enthusiast for Ada, and used it for research from 1986 until about 2006. I'm also an enthusiast for LaTeX which I have used on both Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux platforms. I've typeset many journal and conference papers and several books, including authoring LaTeX style files. Since 2005 I have also been a keen user of Matlab (see above). Since retirement I've learned Ruby and used it on Ubuntu running on a Raspberry Pi 4 for remote monitoring of my boat.Leisure interests
I have been interested in railways since the age of 11. In November 1994 I travelled on the Eurostar service between London and Paris through the Channel Tunnel very soon after it opened, and an account is available (now over 30 years old).I am also interested in genealogy (with an unusual name like mine maybe that is not surprising). For a bit more information, see here.
I've been a vegetarian for a long time, and a vegan since 2000.
