I've been here for a while now, and made a few posts, so it's only polite to introduce myself.
I've spent most of my working life as a software developer, starting in 1974 with an ICL 1900 and progressing through the 2900 and 3900 mainframes.
The big mainframes are being retired now, and having just come to grips with Oracle databases I find it's nearly time for me to go as well.
My greatest love is walking in the English Lake District (I can remember when it was in B&W), and so far the photography has been secondary to the walking and limited by what I can comfortably carry. Currently a 350D + EFS17-85 is about as much as I can manage.
Still, in a few weeks I'll have much more time to take photos. I may even get round to writing a YAG (Yet Another Guidebook).
Nice to meet you all.
Stuart
