Part 41976 and beyond Looking back on my working life, I liken it to a rollercoaster. There was a constant stream of highs that usually appeared out of the blue, followed by lows that cut me down to size. It’s not in my nature to have enormous regrets, although from time to time I did […]
“The world has gone rabid over AI. This is such a strong indicator that we are fed up with the old generation of software. The world is demanding a workable solution to software. The ‘ExoFuture’ looks bright for us all!” – FV “I have also imagined and hoped to see an innovative computing platform […]
Part 41976 and beyond For some time I had been keen to write a novel.

“I feel like it helped me understand the scale of work that has led to the state that ExoTech is in today. And the massive vision and preparation done to control everything and put it into existence. “The rails are laid, and the train is being moved onto it, so to speak. Once the train […]
Part 2 continued1956–1966 In earlier blogs I did write about how I met my wife Hero whom I met in 1965 and married in 1966. I want to expand this period here as it has had a profound and positive affect on the rest of my life. We will soon have been married sixty years […]
