I have been involved with computer programming since the early '80s when I bought an Atari and wrote some of the first printer drivers, as in those days little worked "out of the box". As the years progressed "computers" became more than a hobby with the constant requests from friends, neighbours and employers to "fix" their computers or networks. Design of various systems happened, including a library cataloguing system for a South African College. Testing for year 2000 readiness of his wife's computer system, she is a family physician, discovered the practice's software inherited from a former owner would not survive. I designed a new system, hired programmers and founded Scriptnetics. Its key product is an electronic medical record, Medscribbler, which is the first (2002) enterprise level program to be designed with handwriting and mobility for the Tablet PC. I have undergraduate studies in arts and business and a Masters degree (Mdiv) with minors in anthropology and cross-cultural communication (missiology.) I have been an aquarist for 35 years, and have several salt water and fresh water tanks. Other interests include playing and entertaining with an harmonica, Canadian military history, sailing including boat refurbishing and alpine skiing. I have a strong interest in coaching baseball (upto AA pro level) but have not done this for almost a decade now. I also speak a little French (badly) and have a working knowlege of Greek. I am a Christian and follow the phiolosphy of Alberti.
