Mortone!

This is just the index of things that Richard Morton has for show & tell. These may not be the 'droids you're looking for though - Richard Mortons are pretty common as it happens.

The FooDoo Lounge

My oldest project - AppleScript resources for people using the language, such as code and application dictionaries (up to about OS X 10.3 or so) and some FreeWare utilities for anyone still using Classic MacOS.

The 'Lounge hasn't been updated for a while and, from what I can tell, neither has AppleScript. Apple don't even have a page for it anymore, which is a bit sad. My site is unlikely to be updated much in the future, but I will keep it available for as long as I can. I just found the domain available and registered it until August 2015, so it should be around until then at least.

I still use AS quite a bit for work and, based on what I see in use, all the code snippets should still work well. I was and am careful to code everything without relying on any boundary conditions or undocumented behaviours and this has paid off handsomely for me - I don't have to do a lot of maintenance on the stuff I use - and should do the same for you.

Pictures

I used to play a lot of music, but photography is my primary artistic outlet these days. I studied photography back when it involved darkrooms, but got rid of all my gear in the mid 80s. I didn't use a camera for decades, until we bought an IXUS for work and I rediscovered my joy in making pictures.

At the moment, I have a few galleries done up until about 2005 here and a recent look at my 2006 trip to Chile here. For stuff between 2006 and 2009, check out my Flickr.

Writing

I do a bit of this, but the only thing close to being finished at the moment is my travelogue of the trip I did to Chile in 2006. The first page is here. This is something of a companion to the gallery of larger pictures mentioned above.

Work Work

I've always tried to do what I love and make money out of it however I can. That worked well with music for a long time, but then the solar industry went apeshit and the little business I was running with an old mate turned into something a whole lot more serious. And time consuming.

Sun Real takes up most of my time these days, but it's a very rewarding thing to do and it means I may yet be able to accumulate enough super to retire and may even live to enjoy a little of that if I'm very lucky.

And..?

If you wish to get in touch, then ring me. If you don't know my number then look me up in the phone book, or get my work number from the Sun Real site.

Domain Names

I have a number of domains parked here. I bought them all because I liked them and thought they were fun, but I'm not doing a whole lot with most of them, so they're all potentially for sale given the right circumstances.
