Project number: 305 (number in database). Original project name: TrackSat!. Development type or programming language: Pascal. Platform designed for/with: Vax. Year of most recent major modification: 1982.
TrackSat was my final year project for my computer science degree. It was a satellite tracking program which ran on a Vax super-mini computer. Most interaction at the time was done with terminals but this could output to an early graphics terminal, an HP pen plotter, and an early graphics dot-matrix printer. It seems simple enough now but it was all pretty sophisticated for the time!

I usually write a blog post about once a week. The latest post can be viewed here: Avoid Microsoft: If you don't really like computers much you could make things a bit better for yourself.
