PiedSoftware is a vehicle for selling the utilities that I have developed during 10+ years of working in Delphi. PiedSearch has been continually refined and used as a testbed for a number of ideas. It has become an indispensable tool of my work.

I live in Brisbane, Australia (not the IT capital of the country), married to an exotic wife, who had been my penfriend in 1974 and with whom I have 3 delightful sons. I am from New Zealand originally. The pied shag serving as the logo of the website is native to New Zealand.

Increasingly in this field [psychology] we acknowledge that we have a problem with flexible methodology, meaning that out data analysis procedures are so wishy-washy, it's possible to prove anything. Consenus at any point in time is irrelevant. Today's scientific sure thing is tomorrow's junk science.
