It needs to be noted that I have had to resort to returning to this old website, though only temporarily. Hardware issues on the web server have caused the database server required for the new website to fail. Repairs are expected to complete in a number of days. I apologize to anyone coming to examine the new site, only to be disappointed by this old site.
The Rock Garden was originally named after the space in the basement of my house where friends occasionally gathered to play (usually rock, thus the name) music together. I have since relocated, though, and it might be a few years before I can have a proper music room again.
The new house, however, is on a property with more than a few ... you guessed it ... Rocks. Some of them rather large, and plenty that will eventually be incorporated into gardens around them. The name will still work.
There's not much on this web page, but as time goes on, I'll have links to documentation and software packages I've written, as well as patches I've contributed to some of the better known software packages out there.
I have an online "photo scrapbook" with photos mostly taken by me while travelling across Canada, either while working as a guitar technician for The Watchmen (a Winnipeg born and bred rock band) or for a small engineering company I used to work for. Some were also taken in and around Montreal, after I'd moved here from Winnipeg. I hope folks enjoy these.
I intend to keep a fair number of "bookmark" style links here, mostly for my own use, though with some luck they'll also help others find information they're looking for.
I can start with some I've created myself, in my professional role:
