My Background

I have been 'interested' in wildlife since I was 4 years old but my interest did not become 'serious' until I reached 30 when I joined the Lancashire and Cheshire Entomological Society.

Work wise - I started in the lab of a hospital and then moved to chemical research. Following this I worked with the Department of Employment as a programmer for 25 years (much of it managing IT projects for the Dept.) - it was virtually all mainframe in Cobol, Plan, Fortran, Filetab and a few other languages.

Home IT interest led me into music and graphics programming for fun and thence to developing the initial website for the Cheshire Wildlife Trust during a boring Xmas period in 1996.

Since October 2000 I have managed the local biodiversity records centre for the Cheshire region - rECOrd. As at Ocotber 2006 we have 1.6 million species records available online for the public to search and map.

Who knows what will happen for/to me from here on in ??
