Welcome to My Sandbox
This is my sandbox for personal projects. They may be of use to someone or not.
I use these pages myself when I need something that I can not find other places.
There is nothing surprising but may be something that you might have read about but
never saw a workable example.
If you have something that you are interested in seeing 'for real', drop me an email.
If I think it is worthwhile, you may see it here in the future.
What's new?
Adele will release her third studio album '25' on Nov. 20.

Cold caller from "Windows Technical Support" asks for remote access to my PC.

Suggest saying something like the author said:
"Let's be honest here. You guys are scamming me, and the
US government has a major crackdown on exactly what you
guys are doing and I just wondered if you had any comment about that?"
