Welcome to owenrudge.net!
Welcome to the online home of Owen Rudge! I'm a software developer, formerly a Computer Science student at the University of St Andrews, and this is my personal site which has evolved over the years from a small site about Visual Basic to a sprawling mass of relatively random stuff. I do a lot of programming and web development in a variety of languages (these days primarily C/C++ and PHP, but formerly also included languages such as Visual Basic). Click here to find out more about me.
This site contains a good smattering of information on Visual Basic, the GEM GUI for DOS, my OSPlus utility kit for DOS, the fantastic game Transport Tycoon, the FreeDOS operating system, the Age of Empires game, and includes some miscellaneous utilities you can download. It also contains some personal stuff such as my blog, and a gallery of desktop screenshots, DesktopShots! Feel free to explore using the navigation bar at the top of the page. Be warned that a lot of the information hasn't been updated in some time, such as the Visual Basic section - since becoming a student, I've ended up with a lot less free time!
Is there something you would like to see on owenrudge.net? Just want to get in touch? Drop me a line!
Site news: British Airways Executive Club earnings calculator
As some of you know, I have become a bit of a frequent flyer over the past few years, and created an earnings calculator for bmi Diamond Club a couple of years ago. With bmi’s impending sale to British Airways, I’ve now created an earnings calculator for the British Airways Executive Club, showing how many Avios and tier points you’ll earn on any given itinerary. There may be some bugs or incorrect values in it – let me know if you spot anything that’s wrong, or if you have any other comments about it.
Latest blog: News
I know I’ve promised news for quite some time – alas, I have been quite busy! I was in Australia and New Zealand in late June and early July, then I’ve been back here working, and then away to Aviemore for a weekend, and then doing more work. I’ll try to post photos from my trip at some point in the near future, along with some kind of description or trip report, hopefully! Just need to find the time to do so, though. It’s the 5th annual Transport Tycoon Forums meet in a couple of weeks, so I need to get things ready for that, as well as keep up with everything else that’s going on!
Ah well, until next time…
