Recent work and other projects

• ABS Cases

  

  ABS Cases are a specialist manufaturing company based in East London. They produce flight cases for many of the top names in the entertainment and conference industries.

  They run a number of bespoke software packages developed by me, originally in Borland Turbo Pascal and later in Delphi. The largest of these is a specialist CAD style program for creating and costing up the case designs. This has been in continuous daily use for well over 15 years.

• BDEChecker

  

  I wrote this many years ago, as a way of keeping track of various problems with Borland's Database Engine (BDE). I only keep it on the web-site, because there are still people downloading it.

• JustClaim

  'JustClaim' is a web site that provides information and guidance to using the 'small claims' procedure in the english & welsh county courts.

  This web-site started out, many years ago, as the help files for a software package that assisted users to complete the court claim form (Form N1). The original software is long defunct, but the help files live on as the JustClaim web-site.

• late-payment-law.co.uk

  This web-site contains a guide to using the Late Payment legislation as part of credit control or debt collection activities.

  Like the JustClaim web-site, this was originally part of a bigger software project.

• Speciality Software

  

  Speciality Software is an independent consultancy. I have done reasonable amounts of work for them, originally in Delphi. More recent projects have tended to be in C# (.net and mono) or various web technologies.

  TAGFRESH is probably the simplest, easiest-to-use air freshener on the market. No liquids, no aerosols, no batteries and no special dispenser required. Simply open the packet and hang it up!

• Teepol

  

  Teepol was the name given to the first synthetic detergent, developed in the UK by Shell Chemicals during the 1930s. It is therefore the longest established detergent brand in the world and was the first ever detergent to be manufactured in the UK.

  This web-site provides details for the product range of the current UK manufacturers.

• XML:Wrench

  Syntax highlighting, multi-page text editor for XML and XML like files. Includes context sensitive help, XML checking and validation. Can import from HTML and can be used to generate files from source XML and suitable XSL transformation style sheets.

  I wrote this text editor, as a way of teaching myself XSLT. At the time, I didn't have any easy way of editing some XML and XSL files and then testing them out. So I wrote a small text editor to make this easier. It also works as a fairly general purpose text editor for any of the common web file formats.
