A Brief History of Gavin

Born Gavin James Regnart on 21 January 1970 at RAF Cosford, Shropshire, and brought up in Stafford, I'm now a 38 year-old computer programmer living in Birmingham, England. The programs you'll find on the Free Software pages are not my professional efforts - they were written for recreation (and world-wide admiration perhaps).

I'm married with three children, and work for Goodyear Dunlop UK. Between them, these two parts of my life seem to leave little time for much else these days, however...

Outside of programming and web-publishing, my main interests are music and cinema. I have varied tastes, and among my favourites are Clint Eastwood, Woody Allen, Frank Sinatra, R.E.M., Bob Dylan and Steven Spielberg.

I have written a great many songs in my time, and the lyrics to a few can be found in Poetry Corner. I cannot claim to have been as prolific in film-making, but I did once feature in a short, silent, art-house movie (sorry, I meant curry-house), which is available for a free download via the Miscellany link.

Not a great sportsman, I have been known to swim and play a little badminton (separately!). I also follow the 'fortunes' of Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club.
