Hiya! I worked there in '97, first year at Bury St Edmunds.

  In hindsight we worked on some very cool and very crazy things. The emailer (of course), the brother geobook (the first thing I worked on was an ill-fated color port), web libraries for the psion5 browser (a whole different tail of woe), a standards compliant (i.e. not wap, or proprietary transcoding) web browser on a cell phone demo in early 98 (that was mainly Dave and Chris?)

    You had the perils of writing C for GEOS? Having to lock a block of memory before using it and then unlocking it when you've done. Looking back, my big regret was not trying harder to get C++ working. Having the compiler automatically insert unlock calls via a destructor function would have saved me a lot of time and screaming "Why are you still locked?" at the screen.
