QL'ers Gallery

Last updated: 14/02/2008

The lighter side of this website! If you have never met these well known personalities from the QL scene over the years, here's your chance to at least see what they look like. You might have heard their names in QL Today, Quanta, QL World, on the Web, and thought it might be nice to put a face to the name...read on! Some of the pictures are not too clear and not too flattering...all the more incentive for people to send in better photos for inclusion on this page! Submissions as a .JPG or .GIF file, about 100 pixels high (so they don't take too long to load in a browser) to me by email to djwebsite AT tesco DOT net please. I decided not to make matters worse by including my own picture here, you'll be relieved to know! But since a few have complained they don't know who to blame, follow this link if you really must see a picture! Alternatively, try this somewhat older pictureif you are really brave... Thanks to various people who've sent me some additional photos.

OK, some people have complained it's all well and good I maintain my anonymity by not publishing any incriminating photos of myself on this page, here is one which is probably a prime candidate for a Caption Competition entry along the lines of "QL Today Editor Emerges To Get His Teeth Into Another Issue". It's a few years old (fewer grey hairs!) but at least is in the spirit of this page! Blame Per Witte - although he is not directly involved, it was his email suggesting I should appear on this page in person which caused this picture to be included.
