eHideaway.uk is the personal website of David Crowe. It is called eHideaway because back at the dawn of internet, my home was called The Hideaway.
The header image is a view of The Shore at Silverdale. On this occasion it looked particularly fine and, unusually, the tide was high.
I am a retired Software Developer now living in the beautiful village of Silverdale, on the coast between Kendal and Lancaster. During my career I worked on supervisory control and data acquisition systems, flight simulators, data warehouses, and data migration. Employers included Kent Process Control, CAE in Montreal, BA, CEGB, a US company I called the Extremely Devious Shits, BT (my escape from the shits) and as a consultant at a variety of banks, supermarkets and the like. Coding was what I enjoyed doing, and still do. I have coded in languages ranging from object code and assembler to Ab Initio, a reassuringly expensive Business Intelligence platform targeted at companies that needed to manipulate large amounts of data. These days I mainly use Python for my own projects.
Some of my interests are skiing, gardening, following West Ham FC and now Burnley FC, the weather, bridge, walking and cycling in beautiful countryside (I am not a competitive man in lycra), sailing in the sun, and the consumption of food, wine and blues music.
Since age 20, I have suffered from Ulcerative Colitis. Fortunately I have not had to have surgery but I have become used to dashing to the loo and having people looking up my bottom.
