Peter Irving Programming Intelligent Resources

Whether it is 2πr or πr² I would like to think that I've got it covered.

I have been working in the Computer Industry all of my adult life - that's not quite 50 years yet. I have built and tested them at component, board and system level (Main Frames, Mini-computers. Home computers - what we had before PC's) and PC's. Either in the Workshop or (sometimes and) the "Field". I've even, on the odd occasion, sold them.

For the last quarter of a century I have been telling them what to do and how to do it - my way.

That knowledge and experience is available for Hire. Either directly via an IR35 Type Contract or as a Consultant.

Whilst I'm not doing that, I am working (currently) on three Personal Projects. As much as I would like to talk about them: here and now is not the place or time.

Having spent all but the last year or so working for the man and, finding myself repeatedly performing variations of the same remedial work (in, somewhat, both senses of the word), I thought it was time to "do it for myself" So things are at a very early stage and I really don't want to give the game away. So to speak. Besides, things are very much in a "state of flux" and could even change as you are reading this. However, what is available share can be found using the Links below (they open in a different but same Window):

Just because you can doesn't mean you should

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should

An observation:
T.I.L. Something new (and interesting) about SVG Images, Desktop and Mobile Browsers: More specifically: The Google Chrome Browser (on both) and my phone, being a Samsung Galaxy A40 - all of which are as "up to date" as they can be with their software.

In investigating as to just what is going on, an "offered" answer was that the phone is "optimising" the image for the sake of performance.

See for yourself - view this webpage using a Desktop PC and a Mobile Phone.

I found that, on my phone at least, that much of the detail in the image is "lost".
