Welcome to my web site. My name is Melanie and I'm a professional software developer (mainly Java, C and C++ on UNIX platforms but I do do some Windoze development) and all round biker geekette. This site is pretty eclectic but I hope you find something of use.

Just added is an applet which allows you to replace those animated GIFs with JPEGs and so avoid the UNISYS/CompuServe GIF controversy. It is freely downloadable.

"Well the Solstice/Crimbo vacation is upon us and maybe I'll have a chance to update this site properly now."

Well it didn't happen and I've been so busy since then I haven't really had a chance to do anything with the site.
