Experience outside academic institutions
Casual farm labour 1968 1978 Employer E.H.B. Neill
Operating hay making machinery 1976 1978 Employer E.H.B. Neill
Landscape gardening & Handyman work 1983 1984 Employer R.M.S. Crofts
Computer Operating (MVS/JES3) 1985 1986 Employer The Shell Company of Australia
While operating I was allowed to perform the following Shell operator tasks : IPLing and shutting down the system executing the housekeeping suite monitoring shell's extensive network
I believe I was promoted to systems programming because of the many useful tools I wrote for the operators in my spare time. These include a tape query from the operator console and many others.
Systems Programming (MVS/JES3) 1987 1989 Employer The Shell Company of Australia
I was competent at using most MVS system components such as TSO and ISPF. I could write assembler, PL/I and clist. I could program ISPF from clist, and both assembler and PL/I programs. While system programming at Shell I wrote several assembler exists for MVS and JES3. One of my tasks was assisting in the maintenance of HSM, IBM's Hierarchical Storage Manager. My most outstanding achievement was modifying the account code computer resource accounting system to use RACF and providing an ISPF management tool for the manipulation of RACF account codes.
Part Time Assistant Bowling Green Keeper 1991 1999 Employer R.M.S. Crofts
Computerising and Managing
The Berwick Cemetery Trust Register 1991 2005 Employer R.M.S. Crofts
Before I used Microsoft Access to computerise the Cemetery Register all records were stored on paper in date of burial order. Now that the Register is computerised it is now longer necessary to search the entire Register for a simple Surname query. I have also written software that allows the automatic generation of Section Maps at regular intervals. The Section Maps take the form of a Web Page because of the ease in which tables can be generated using HTML. Please note that I had to manually enter all Register records in to Microsoft Access.
Emergency Berwick Cemetery Secretary 1994 2005 Employer R.M.S. Crofts
Developing the ERMHA Website 2000 2002
I was able to convince ERMHA that I could make them a satisfactory Home Page easily and cheaply. They decided on a minimal home page in preference to more expensive options.
