a.k.a. etdxc [1]

I've worked in IT for more than 27 years (it feels like its been over 2 centuries), and since 1989 as a contract analyst/programmer/developer/etc. I've been developing (on and off) in Tcl/Tk since the late 90s. My experience is (mostly) in *nix and Microsoft environments, mostly with database & GUI interface development.

I live in the pretty city of Bristol in the south west of England.

Last role

I designed and developed the Tcl/Tk part of the On Line Mission Support and Evaluation system (OLMSE) to manage and analyse telemetry from the European Robotic Arm (ERA) which is (will be) mounted on the Russian segment of the International Space Station for Spacebel NV as part of the Dutch Space/ESA MPTE (Mission Preparation Training & Evaluation) project.
