Welcome

Welcome to this site, initially created for providing family members and friends with pictures of new baby born Lavendel, Sydney, Australia.

Over time topics were added such as basic mathematics concepts, opensource utilities and interactive scripts. Also various pictures have been inserted, including some taken while touring the Australian outback.
