Welcome

Here you'll find my thoughts on anything and everything. Google will force me to "upgrade" my existing site to their new standards quite shortly. Several of my pages are broken when automatically migrated, so I figured I should move some things here while I decide whether to carry on using Sites to host my information.

Initially you'll just find some of my welding utilities here along with my sketching program 'QuickCAD' but I may continue to develop this version of my site further.
