Roger W. Haworth

  • Hello. My name is Roger William Haworth - I'm the one on the left in the big picture. I live in South Croydon, Surrey, UK.
  • I am a computer consultant and software developer. In fact I am still very much a MsDos person. If you need good old fashioned keyboard-pounding applications on an 80x25 text screen, then come to me.

  • Our son, George Patrick Webster Haworth was born on 1978 Dec 3. In 1998 he was in Idaho. Then he studied Sport Science at Portsmouth University for two years. In 2004 he graduated from Loughborough University where he did a Technology Foundation Year followed by a Mathematics course.

  • Other presences on the web:
    • Access me via one of the domain names I have bought: Or, if you have actually got here via one of those names, use the non-forwarded version: www.RHaworth.myby.co.uk
      And I have email addresses of: anyone@<any of the above domain names>.
    • Look at the (usually obsessive) edits I am applying to Wikipedia. Same like what you can - but please get yourself a User Id first.
    • At geograph poor quality pictures of mine have still managed to win me points because they are the first for a particular 1 kilometre square.
    • Look at my three perverted blogs: Blogs are apparently very popular but personally I cannot stand the things - just outpourings of the chattering classes. Click here for a random blog and then on the Next Blog link at top right (usually) and see if you agree with me.
    • Take a voyeuristic look at the wierd stuff I am putting in my Furl
    • An eclectic selection of my photos stored at fotopic (mainly), Multiply and a few on Photobox - see links box (stupidly, they don't seem to support a public index page to a user's albums).
    • And, just to make sure no one else grabbed the name, I have a slot along with the millions on MySpace
  • Traffic:
    • Alexa's rank for me is somewhat misleading. Even though it has a thumbnail of this page, the rank is for everything on myby.co.uk. But note that I am there among the top sites within myby. This is mainly because I have developed …
    • oscoor_a which converts a GB grid reference to latitude and longitude and passes it to Germany for a page full of useful map links.
  • Code words:
    • Geowonks is a code word which I can enter into Gargle or Yoohoo to take me to my pages.  Kindly invented for me by a young lady called Kim.  I store numbers in my mobile phone in the international format (+44 …) even when I am never likely to call them from abroad.  So I suppose I must be a geowonk.
    • Geowonks generates too many false hits, so let us try scezune in Goohoo or Yargle. This word popped up as a Wikipedia title but was speedily deleted as "nonsense - zero google hits" before any search engine or Wikipedia clone had time to notice. The definition given was (spelling, etc. preserved):
      Scezune = spirit bound. The meaning is from a meso/babolonian legend that humans can be bound to spirits. now most of the magick comunity is bound to them and uses them as slaves to talk with other people from "the community". however alot of people become "schezune" from supernatural contact. alot of these people are mostly outcasts who do wierd "stuff" or considered freaks. most of the schezune life is sacred to healers and other canidates of leadership in the community.
      I am adding sgezune (G and Y searches) to create a family of 'sg' keywords: sgwords
  • Who I am not. A Google image search for rhaworth is positively embarassing - the most of the first 200 hits relate to me. But I am not:

    Wikipedia user Lupin who created this map …
    but I developed Template:GBthumb which does not demand a 180k byte image for every map. It is still in use in an hundred or so articles although it has now been superseded by a county-specific version as in Studland. The map is still in use over on the French Wikipédia as in Blackpool.

    Nor am I anything to do with the Haworth Press who publish such riveting reads as Cataloging & Classification Quarterly.
