The academic, skill set, Web development and downloadable utilities sections in the Professional section have recently been updated. The latter contains a useful FTP manager for managing Web uploads.
This web site is currently under substantial revision, intended to serve both as demonstration and repository of my professional activities as an IT consultant and developer, and as a personal archive.
For further details, see the what's new section.
This link is to the Peru photo blog — more photo than blog at present. There are currently 50 photos from our recent holiday in Peru (and some from other participants)
This link is to the Valdottavo pages, which describes and supports a chamber music workshop we have held in Tuscany for 6 years (1999-2005, with the exception of 2004). (In 2004 we went to Edinburgh instead for the antithesis of chamber music: a thumping great 80-piece orchestra but, except for the pizza trips to Lucca, equally satisfying.)
The pages still contain booking information for 2005. They will be replaced in due course with an archive of our activities, musical and otherwise, together with information about a possible future course.
Try the Web Link Manager. You can find it on Link Manager. Full details are to be found on that page, including log-in, registration, help and FAQ.
The facility on this page contains the same information, but is far less versatile. For more details, see the web development page, and the link manager itself.
Note that the system supports a full folder structure, and an open-ended number of links; left-click on • marker for a context-sensitive menu.
An 800-link database will download in a one to two seconds on broadband, and 10-15 seconds on dialup.

The above list of links contains a selection of those I have found useful or interesting. It also demonstrates the power of the Document Object Model in conjunction with Javascript programming. If you look at the source of this page, you will find no reference to any of the links - they are created dynamically from an XML database on the server as the document is loaded.

You can create a fully function portable "favourites" link list, similar to that available using the "favorites" menu in Internet Explorer. The difference is that the list is stored on our Web server, under your login name, and is so available (for use or update) from any computer in the world!
To add a link, you must first log in (registering your name first if you have not already done so. Then click on <New link> on the list of links, or click on the o button to the right of any link and select New link. You can also add folders, nested to any depth, and place links within them. Finally, you can delete links or folders, rename them, or move an existing link or folder to another folder. Simply click on the o button to the right of the relevant link, and select the appropriate menu item.
To access a link, click on it in the normal way. To open a folder, click on the folder name, or on the + symbol to the left. To close a folder, click on the name again, or on the - symbol to the left.
Because this application is entirely web-based, security restrictions prevent the code from "reading" the address and title of the page you are currently viewing - otherwise all your web activity could be monitored, which is clearly undesirable! Therefore there is no neat way of automatically copying a link into this page.
The quickest way to enter a link is to press Alt+D in the web page you wish to store; this will highlight the link (URL); copy it with Ctrl+C or CtrlShift+INS. Then switch to this page, and paste the link into the URL box (either with Ctrl+V or Shift+INS. Enter the title, and you are finished.
