In between digging into the more obscure aspects of Android, life goes on. We have a visit today by daughter Georgina and son-in-law Richard with new baby Emily. And last night was the first rehearsal of the Beaumaris Singers for this term. We have a concert, called "Jubilate", at the end of May including a number of coronation anthems. Naturally "Zadok the Priest" will be there, but so are some much less well-known numbers including a Walton piece "Jubilate Deo" in multiple time signatures, and a lovely Byrd anthem "O Lord, make thy servant Elizabeth our Queen". I'm looking forward to it. We'll be doing some of the same pieces at Cosford air base in June to celebrate Veterans Day.
Peter WilesPeter has been writing software since going up to Manchester University in 1965, the first year that the University offered Computer Science as a B.Sc course. After gaining a B.Sc and M.Sc in Computer Science, he joined the British company ICL (later renamed Fujitsu Services) and worked there for 36 years, initially as a designer working on the development of the VME mainframe operating system. Later years were spent as a Systems Architect specialising in large Government and private sector customers including the DTI, European Commission, MAV (Hungarian Railways), the UK Post Office and HM Revenue & Customs. He retired from Fujitsu in 2007 and has devoted much of his time since to developing software for his own use and, more recently, to make available via the Android marketplace. Some of this software is aimed at supporting his other principal interest, sailing and maintaining his Westerly Seahawk yacht which he has recently moved to Troon in the Firth of Clyde, Scotland.
