Our #garden: before, after, & a visual excerpt. California natives & drought tolerant plants (thank you Lincoln nursery on Lincoln), gold decomposed granite, lots of rock (thank you Stoneyard on Lincoln). Thank you to my garden coaches who saw what I couldn't & helped bring some much-needed beauty into this world. Having planted these treasures of memory, potential, & the present tense, & continuing to care for them, now I get to write their story.

In 1983, I was twenty years old, a university dropout, and back in my mum's house in Barnsley with no plan.

I had a Sinclair Spectrum, a cassette recorder, and a bedroom so cold my fingers went stiff at the keyboard. I was teaching myself Z80 assembly language from disassembled game code, in the dark, at midnight, hoping something would come of it.

Something did.

Chapter 4 of my serialized memoir is now live. The Zoo: a hosiery factory, an earthquake, and the interview that started it all.

Chapter 1: The Zoo

I was 20, coding Z80 in a hosiery factory. We called it 'The Zoo.' The true story of Software Projects, earthquakes, and the 8-bit revolution starts here.
