(last updated November 29, 2008, minor changes only)

For various reasons over the past months I've taken down my personal web pages, online writings and blog; I did want, however, to leave a way for anyone who wanted to to find me online. If you're looking for my writing on the following subjects:

A Loafer's Guide to the UC Berkeley Campus

Historic American Engineering Record work on the Southern Pacific workshops in Sacramento

Road trips on Henry the Royal Enfield J2 (the first is still online here)

Prosopographical research on 18th and 19th century civil engineers (this work has been published in Prosopography Approaches and Applications: A Handbook)

Lady Jillian Spagthorpe (her writing on speedometers and on how to light a carbide lamp )

The Babbage engine

My debut at the San Francisco Opera in 2003

Stories about Neddy, Blake and Overstrom and the various people the latter meets, manipulates, negotiates with, and on occasion kidnaps (their continuing story can be followed in fragmentary form, along with the progress of the novel in which they feature, on this community)

Or you want to read what I've written about:

Other travel, museums and events

18th century railways

The origins of the Avebury stone circle

The lines on the floor of York Minster's masons' loft

you'd like to offer me a job, or you just want to send a note to say hi, please write to this address:

carolyn dot webmail at ntlworld dot com

or look for me on AIM at Broughie Shaw.

 I'll continue to post stories here occasionally--here's one of my most recent road trip through the Midlands, August 2007.

A picture of me, from a couple of years ago, if anyone's interested (that's not Henry, that's Henry's kid sister!)
