Bazaar Systems

Originally established as an IT company, we no longer provide IT services to Domestic or Small Business clients.

In fact the limited company no longer exists as a legal entity. I keep the website running as a resource for the open-source community. I hope that some of the scripts and systems I have written over the years will be useful to somebody.

The site now operates in support of Open Source software.

This is a picture of Chestnut, the family narrowboat, seen here moored in Buxworth basin in the Peak District. There are over 3000 miles of waterways in England and you can get to most of them on a narrowboat, albeit very slowly. 4 mph is pretty much flat out. This, in turn, means that although you can go everywhere, it takes a lot of time. See here for more details.
