A good way to rid yourself of those peskie telemarketers

A few software programs I wrote that you might find useful.
Jewel Case Printer V3.0 - I don't know how many times I've tried to find a utility that would read a CD Drive contents and print the directory/file list to a CD jewel case. Have you ever done a backup to CD and wished you could print a jewel case listing the files or folders. Seeing as I had some free time on my hands lately I decided to write a program to do just that.
New and improved Version 3. I find this a great utility for putting just about anything on a Jewel Case and printing it.
Phone Number 2 Words - Ever wonder if there was an anagram that could be used for your phone number. I saw a program on the internet somewhere that did this but of course they wanted money for it. So... I wrote one myself.
DonSearch - I must say I didn't like the Windows XP Search function very much so I decided to write my own.
Wallpaper - I wrote this as an exercise in writing information to the registry. Once I figured out how to do it the program grew from that. It's simple but makes working with different wallpapers a lot easier.
Grocery List - I was always looking for a bit of paper to jot down needed things for grocery shopping. It was nuisance to say the least. So I decided to write myself a little program which would create a shopping list to put on the fridge door.
Conversions - I got sick of going to the web to look up conversion charts so I wrote a program that would convert everything I could think of.

Des Walsh: Just thought I'd post a link to the Writer's Guild of Canada's Canadian Screenwriter Magazine which had an article on my brother a while back.

The Antidote is a professional medical billing program I wrote for physicians in Newfoundland & Labrador.

This is an update page for Antidote Users as well as an information site for the software itself.

BTW the Home Button on the Antidote Page does not take you back here.

My Job

Memorial University of Newfoundland’s Digital Archive Initiative (DAI) marks the beginning of a long term coordinated effort to digitize the learning and research based cultural resources managed by the various archives and departments on campus. The DAI provides mechanisms for the long-term preservation of digital objects in a variety of formats (image, audio, video, etc.) and for controlled access to the digital collections for both the Memorial University community and the general public. At the present time you will find a variety of digital books, rare Newfoundland maps, Dr. Cluny Macpherson’s Notebooks and several years of the Newfoundland Quarterly.

Tickle Harbour is a Newfoundland Celtic Band I played in for 20 years.

Time flies when you're having fun.

The music page is basically made up of Newfoundland Music and Celtic Music.

The Celtic Music link is basically links to some of my favourite celtic sites. Tunes and Songs, Folk Festivals and Venues, Instrument Pages, Artists, Radio Stations, Record Companies and Magazines, Music Stores and Other Links.

You'll also find links to some of my favourite sites in the Newfoundland Music Page but there are also some unique pages in here that I created. The Newfoundland Musicians Email Directory for one.

There is also a page containing all the CDs, Cassettes and LPs I've been involved with over the years. There are photos of the jackets plus all the liner notes for each project.

The Heritage Website explores the history, society, culture and natural environment of the province of Newfoundland & Labrador.

This site is truly worth a visit. Everything you wanted to know about Newfoundland & Labrador but were afraid to ask.

The St. John's page has links to Weather Reports, Local Cinemas, A History of St. John's and other links.

On my photos page you'll find a Section on St. John's. Amoung the photos in there you'll find a couple of panoramas, one of the city and one of the harbour.

SingSong Inc. is a Newfoundland recording company owned and operated by performing artist Jim Payne.

Visit their website to find information about the recordings, the artists, events and performance schedules and upcoming SingSong releases.

Possible Interest has 3 categories. General Interest, Newfoundland and Other Stuff

Being Canadian and sometimes ordering golf clubs etc. online from the US I expecially like the Royal Bank Currency Converters so I know ahead of time what I'm in for.

Some other Highlights of General Interest are : MapQuest (you can get a road map anywhere in North America) Canadian Postal Code look up, 649 Lottery number look up. In the Newfoundland catagory you'll find a link to the Newfoundland Act which is the Terms of Union agreed between Canada and Newfoundland [23rd March 1949]

You get the picture.

I put this page here for my own benefit. Sometimes when I'm staying with a friends, family or just visiting someone I often whish I had my cook books with me when I decide to make a meal. With this page I do. Here are some of my favourite recipes.


I noticed that when I tried to print a recipe the whole page printed instead of the one recipe I was viewing. To correct this I've added a 'Printer Friendly' button to each recipe.

Just a set of photos that I sometimes like to look at when I travel. Pictures of home so I won't get to homesick :-)

If you'd like to contact me you can do so by clicking the email bar below.

As you can see I have a java script which lets me encode my email address so web spiders and crawlers won't be able to see my email address and add it to the dreaded Junk Email List

I found this script on the net and it was written by Jim Tucek.
I used to have a web link to his script but alas his site has vanished.
