I'm a retired programmer and web designer.

Also an amateur folk musician for over fifty years, in the 70s I played at several folk clubs and folk venues. Now I play just for my own enjoyment, and YouTube.

More recently I have composed a few "contemporary classical" pieces, including an arietta, a couple of toccatas and a fantasia. These are also on YouTube, played on various synth instruments.

Now living la dolce vita with my wife, 2 dogs and 12½ cats.

Facial age estimation tech is being rolled out in the UK asylum system ⚠️

A damning investigation from Lighthouse Reports reveals that the Home Office’s own assessment of these tools found them to be deeply flawed.

Yet it's being rolled out regardless of the potentially dangerous consequences.

Home Office knew AI age checking technology for migrant children was flawed — but will roll it out anyway

Exclusive: Government advisors describe the tool as ‘hideously flawed’ amid concern facial age estimation has ‘baked-in racial bias’ — and can wrongly identify a 14-year-old as an adult

In a departure from my usual music, I have composed a #toccata . It was inspired by the tune Y Foel Fynydda by Jordan Price Williams. This is played on a #synth

I'm honored to have mixed, mastered, and done additional production on the latest album Love & Technology by The Brothers Landau! This tune in particular, "How Much is Enough?" was really fun to work on, cutting, pasting, rearranging strings they had recorded at their own studio, doubling and quadrupling acoustic guitars, and adding some Rhodes and Mellotron interspersed throughout.

Have you ever started something and wished you hadn't? I bought this 3D motorised puzzle ages ago and started it yesterday. I have completed the first of 24 stages and am already stumped. The instructions are incomprehensible in places, and I'm sure these places matter.
