Rotherham. Realized that a lot of work still needs to be done on FTM and VTM in order to make them useful to the end-user. May have to put together a Tools app for the "advanced user" including MakeCode etc. Better get on with it then! As forecast the weather is getting a bit rough. Did some texts. Noticed that it's six months since I first turned up at Rotherham to visit Grahame Driver at the Hospital. Went out at mid-day and walked along the tow-path into town. Was lucky not to be blown into the canal. I've never seen such waves on a canal before. Very exciting! Did texts to Colin, Jimmy and Mum. Did an hour at the internet café. The ebme website was down. Did a bit on eBay. Had some grub in my usual place and then made my way back through the blustery wind. Garden fences blown across the road. Back at No.91 by 15:00. Reckon I made the right decision in hunkering down for a while. Carried on getting VTM SWM manuals stuff sorted out. Time-consuming but worth doing right.

About Me
- Name: Greybeard
After forty years working in the engineering support of medical equipment, and in new hospital projects both in the design office and "at site", I now consider myself semi-retired. Following army service in Hong Kong, UK, Germany and Saudi Arabia, I worked in Saudi Arabia (a further four times), Nigeria, Jordan, Oman (twice) and the UK Health Service. My earning skills have included hands-on installation, repairs, maintenance, inspections and technical support of medical equipment. Together with advising on biomedical engineering generally, planning equipment layouts, producing equipment listings, writing specifications, and assisting architects etc. These days I live as simply and cheaply as I can, and (as far as possible) on my own terms, keeping my hand in by repairing or refurbishing medical equipment or doing inspections and maintenance work, sometimes for charity groups. But what I enjoy most is developing computer software, as a quirky and obsessive coder happy to be immersed in thorny problems for months at a stretch. "Free as a bird", and without any permanent address (generally moving on from time to time), I still jog as often as I can.
