The idea behind this website has come from various sources.
Firstly, when I read Dr Alastair Noble’s book “Born in a Golden Age” I thought it would translate well into a website where each section of his life would be easily accessed, since it was so interesting. While I am not as well known, as eloquent, or as interesting as Alastair, I thought it might be a good idea to experiment with my own website.
Secondly, I wanted a website I could play around with using different tools without it being a crucial website for someone else. It doesn’t matter if I break something, and I can try different modules on the back end before implementing them on other websites.
Thirdly, being involved in the Memories Scotland project brought to my attention how important memories are, especially as we get older and they begin to fade. I wanted to keep a record of important stages in my life in a way that was easily accessible for myself and family. Since I am not a writer, the best way for me was to put it in a website.
My mother wrote a book about her life and gave copies to her grandchildren. This is my version of a book.
I know it will benefit me as I get older, and I hope it helps my family, who mean the world to me.

I have split this into two parts because part 2 is current and deserves a separate section. Part 1 is my work history from 1976 to 2006. My first real job after graduation was as a ‘Computer Programmer’, the equivalent of Software Developer now. I was employed by...
Cambron Software was set up in 2003 so that I could work on reporting software for schools. Once I became full time in 2006 this expanded to other clients. I began developing Power Music in 2007 because there was nothing else available at that time to display music...
When I was 15 I got a Saturday job in the local chemist shop. This gave me money to finally buy my own things. I worked there until I left school and we moved to the north of the city. When I was 17 I got a summer job as a housemaid at Torloisk House in Mull. I worked...
