For the time being, this site simply serves as a place for me to put stuff which I want to make public to some extent.
EW Avionics
These are items of interest to those owning or using the earlier versions of the EW Avionics barographs and flight data recorders but which are not necessarily officially supported by EW.
- EW Windows Uploader.
- Validation Software
- EWView/DOS - Supplementary Information.

Booker Gliding Club Accounts System (Max2)
In late 1993/early 1994 I wrote an accounts system for Booker Gliding Club and I've been, to a greater or lesser degree, supporting and extending it since. I've put the manual here for easy reference of an up-to-date copy by anybody with an interest in the matter.
Bumps Charts
I did some XSLT to produce SVG graphs of scores in gliding competitions. Here are a few pages related to those:
- Booker Regionals, 2005 with some introductory text on bumps charts at the top and bottom of the page.
- 2006 15 Metre and Standard Class Nationals.
- 2007 18 Metre Nationals and Booker Regionals.
- 2008 Booker Regionals.
During 2008 I helped Melissa Jenkins integrate the XSLT for bumps charts into her OnGlide system which was used for a few of the later competitions of the season.
Astronomy
A few pages about various observations and things. The least tedious are probably:
- 2003 Transit of Mercury.
- 2004 Transit of Venus.
- A talk on satellite observing I did for a practical evening at Wycombe Astronomical Society.
Miscellaneous
- Kilowatts and Kilowatt-hours: an explanation of these units for the many who are confused.
- Notes on a problem I found with 32 bit Windows serial port handling.
