Talks

Some recent talks and unpublished papers in draft form

Trips

Here are some records of trips

This link takes you to some recommended B&Bs and small hotels that we have enjoyed staying in. No guarantees, but we found them good value.

Some teaching materials

Document Preparation notes for final year students

The slides from my lecture on preparing a final project report

I once wrote a book on the programming language Simula. It is now out of print, so I have put it on the Web in HTML. Enjoy, but I take no further responsibility for it!

I also wrote an ANSI C and  C++ course and turned it into a crude Web based teaching system, using HTML. Feel free to have a look. Again I don't suport it any more.

Publications

Although I don't guarantee it is up to date, here is a list of my publications, for the insomniacs among you.
