About page

I originally set up this web site in February 2004 to promote my consulting business. A secondary purpose was as a platform to try new ideas for web design and scripting that I could pass on to clients. Then I started adding knitting and thread crochet information in a subdomain threads.kgraff.net and found a number of kindred souls. This site is a convenient place to display photographs, both scans of old ones from an early 1950s vintage 35mm and a newer digital camera. After the first year, I decided this should just be my site.

Kathy A. Graff consulting services is my sole-proprietor business. It was located in the Chalet at the River building in downtown Milwaukee WI USA September 1995 through September 2005. Computer consulting began around 1990 while I was still working full time as a scientist and living on Milwaukee's East Side. My computer experience dates from 1969, when I took a Fortran IV course and learned programming on mainframes. [C.V. and Résumé]

A big thank you to the vendors and open source volunteers who provide tools that make using computers a joy.
