Hi all,
Thankyou to those people who have thanked me for the various records
I have put on public display recently.
I am running a program, as we speak, to take all the 1851 2% census
data and put it all into one database file. I did not realise how long this
would take, thus an email, as I have nothing else to do!
BUT, the reason for this is that I know most of you are reasonably
computer literate, but I am offering an advice service (NO charge) for
anyone who needs advice on setting up the back end type computer systems
(Within reasonable limits). I do not know how to design good looking web
pages, but I can advise on how to create databases and stuff like that. I am
also fairly knowledgable on java, windows and linux, databases (most),
various scripting languages etc...
If I don't know the answer, I just ask one of my children, all
computer experts (and all younger than our hamster!).

Come on program, I am runnning out of things to say.
My new site will be at kevw.net and again will be totally free, no horrible,
annoying adverts. Just remembered, if you ever get asked if you want to
trust anything from Gator (Always say NO). This company is probably the
worst in putting rubbish onto your computer and in your registry.
My database file has hit 12MB (that's pretty big), so I might just
restart this again tomorrow.
Anyway,
I have enjoyed talking to you all, now and previously.
Best
Kevan
