Computer
Programming

For many years I wrote educational software in my spare time. Programming can be a frustrating hobby, especially with the old unstructured BASIC which I used to use, so I once took a break and wrote a Really Corny Blues Song about it.

While I rarely do any programming now, I am still a member of the Durham Personal Computer Users' Club.
