The individual served as Vice President of I.P. Sharp Associates Limited from its incorporation in December 1964 until retirement in the winter of 1989. This website features several unrelated sections. The largest section focuses on the history of IPSANET, an early commercial packet-switched network operated by I.P. Sharp Associates to connect remote terminals to its own computers and those of its major clients. Around twenty published papers on other packet-switching networks from the 1970s are available in the history section.

Programming manuals for the two computers used in the original IPSANET will be posted. The journal section will contain published articles on the Ferranti Packard FP6000 computer and data transmission errors. A little material on the Critical Mass bicycle advocacy group is included. Stuff associated with the computer games Clan Lord and Mafia Wars is also here.
