WHO AM I?
SPACE FX allows every man and his
dog to make up realistic "outer space" type animations using
real images of planets, moons and spacecraft. This can be used for a neat
intro to your own program or for educational purposes.
Why not use it to generate a nifty image for your web page?
For more information, check out the SPACE
FX
Page now.
Software projects:

Sorry, astronomy links went missing when my hard disc crashed!

Late Breaking News..
The next update of SPACE FX should include a LINUX version and will be uploaded here in Febuary 2000. If you are interested in LINUX please send an email! Since I have only recently installed Redhat 6.0, I'm still learning how to use it.
Who am I?
I am a Professional Electrical
Engineer and sometime programmer with an interest in animation graphics,
raytracing and astronomy. I do most of my programming in C and a little
asm when necessary. I have also used Visual Basic and am currently trying
out C++.
These days I make myself busy looking after my wife and three children who all have chronic asthma and other assorted medical conditions. Check out the alt.support.asthma newsgroup for discussion about this disease. The children do home schooling with the Brisbane School of Distance Education.
I am always on the lookout for some part-time work, having worked in the engineering field for nearly 30 years. So if you have a Power station on the blink, an Electric Locomotive that just wont go, or need someone to do a little CAD work on a home computer, give me a call!
I'm a member of the Institution of
Engineers, Australia. My last employment covered many diverse areas
of engineering such as Automated Test Equipment for PCB analysis and Quality
Management to AS/ISO/9001,9002.
I live at the southern end of the Great Barrier Reef, near Bundaberg in sunny Queensland, Australia.

I always wondered whether anybody ever reads the fine print at the bottom
