Leon's Web Pages

Welcome to my main site.  This page isn't really about anything to speak of; it's more of a unifying "meta" page that my other sites come back to.

I have a lot more interests than just the subjects of these little pages, of course.  These are just the things I felt motivated to write about.

And me?  I'm an IT worker for the State of California, with a wife and two beautiful children.  I'm in my mid 40s and remember when personal computers first really took off--our first computer was an original IBM PC, with 64KB of RAM (yes, KB, not MB), no graphics card, no hard drive, only two 360kb 5¼" floppy drives.  Yikes!    Anyhow, "Back to BASICs" is an echo of that time period.

My hobbies include computers (duh) and homebrewing (beer, cider, mead, soft drinks, cordials).  My interests--the things I like to read about--include history, geography, and science.  I'm also a member of the Society for Creative Anachronism, where I met my (now) wife and in which I served from 2006-2009 as chancellor of the West Kingdom Brewers' Guild--important work, that!

So enough about me!  Here are the links to my sites.  Check out any that interest you.
