ABOUT

a vague, apocryphal and soi-disant description of the author

what

This site is a collection of things I have produced: including software, articles, book transcriptions, and other bits and pieces.

The name HXA7241 takes its pattern from the film THX-1138.

who

abstract person symbol

(random DNA unit, human, XY configuration, early instantiation generation-X)

Mostly, I have been writing software for various platforms and languages – for over 10 years. (Here is the most ancient code I still have.) I am usually in Northern Europe.

But really: I am less than 0.5% different from anyone else genetically, and just as ordinary experientially – so look around, pick anyone, and you will have a fairly good picture of me.

Some highlights (but only some are true):

  • I have been in the employ of Garter Principal King Of Arms.
