This is a holding page for
www.lovelockhomes.co.uk
on my
lovehome.htm page
My full contact details including 'phone numbers are on the
contact
page.
I see, in December 2024, that I set up this "holding page" back in 2021 - on the 13th May.
I've decided it could be very useful to check out the process of getting https certificates
for my web sites - they are pretty huge ! Only having http has served well for 30 years,
since our household went on the Net ! :-)
i.e. instead of only
http://www.gpss.co.uk
available, we may also have
https://www.gpss.co.uk
.
I am therefore going to copy & paste in material from places like one of my 2024 Xmas Newsletters, then - more importantly - the "Home" page of www.gpss.co.uk - we will see what happens ! :-) IF it goes well, I may, very carefully, try getting https certificates for my other domains, like www.gpss.co.uk, www.nhscare.ifo and www.gpshobby.info.
The following may look a mess, but it may serve it's purpose - of testing the systems along the path ;-)

Seasons Greetings All ! I've been writing these Christmas Newsletters since
1995, online since 1996. Tap or Click on Father Christmas, at the top, for our 1996 Newsletter.
Look at the date near the top: the online copy may have been updated.

My mugshot on left is linked to
www.GPSS.co.uk

That photo on the right, taken in December 2024, is for those who
say my mug shots make me look too young, and/or they don't recognise me now :-)
If you got a paper copy, it may have been a smaller copy below.
"J"(June) 4xA4
,
or the even smaller
"S"(Samantha) 2xA4
or
"K" (Kitchen) copy. I try to keep up, as best I can, even if it is all "kid's stuff" ;-)
In 2024, yet more "photo trail" videos were added to www.youtube.com/user/RobinLovelock/videos showing life with the Lovelocks in Sunninghill, and the state of our house and garden - better than it ever was - but needs "Handyman" work - particularly indoors ! ;-)
Tap on a Printer to print our newsletter: "K" June & Samantha's prefered 2xA4; "S" Samantha's 2xA4 by Robin; "J" Robin's 4xA4 "smaller".
Or
"P" (Portait)
xmas24.pdf in Portait
, or the "full" 5xA4 or more "L" (Landscape) copy:
xmas24l.pdf in Landscape
mode - Robin's preference for Television, Cinema, Newspapers, Magazines, Smartphones, Tablets or Computers. Yes, it will grow ! :-)
These pages may not present clearly on some small smartphone screens; please use a normal large screen on a desktop, laptop, or tablet in landscape mode. Thankyou.

From Robin Lovelock:
I officially retired in 2012, but my wife June says that I retired 10 years before ! GPSS.co.uk began in 1995
for my GPS Software business - now a hobby.
Millions of copies of GPSS had already been distributed on PC Magazine CD.
Over 10,600 people in 153 countries contacted me then used GPSS.
SatNav was very new then, and GPSS did much more. e.g.
Radio Direction Finding
and
AVL / Chase
.
GPSS spoke your language. e.g. Russian or Japanese.
Some pages are still updated.
e.g. Snoopy's attempts to cross the Atlantic from UK to USA, almost every year since 2012.
See
Snoopy's Robot Sailing Boat
or click on the changing picture to the right.
Since 2002, I maintain the
NHSCare.info Coughlan Campaign Charity
site,
helping people in the UK to use the Law to get
free long term care from the NHS, and not have to pay for the care home.
I also have inside knowledge
into UK NHS mental health treatment.
See my
Grumpy
page, with my personal views on World events.
Much of GPSS.co.uk has changed little over more than 30 years.
Since I retired, I'm too busy for paid work.
Visit my
Bigger Picture
page, to see how we spend time.

Hobbies
and
Holidays
or
Walks
:-)
I entered Defence Industry as an apprentice in the mid 1960s.
Ferranti
sent me to
City University
for a B.Sc in Electrical & Electronic Engineering.
That's where I saw
Dr Strangelove
.
I became a Systems Engineer, and work included Royal Navy ship software.
I worked for SHAPE as a NATO scientist through the 1970s, when GPS and the Internet were secret.
See
Robin's memories of SHAPE Technical Centre and John Manniello
.
Our young family returned to the UK in late 1980 and
I worked for
EASAMS
until starting our small
GPS Software business in 1994 - now a hobby.
In publicity about Snoopy's Robot Boat, the Press called me a "Retired NATO Scientist".
Perhaps that should be "Mad Retired NATO Scientist" :-)

This GPS Software pioneered navigation and remote tracking for military, police, business, and the public.
See
how to navigate
with this GPS Software (GPSS).
then
download
and run it on your PC to see a demonstration.
Run GPSS on a Laptop or Pocket PC with a GPS, and this same
GPS Software will work for real. Others might get it to work on other
Operating Systems, such as Android, Chrome OS, Apple, Unix.
See
download
:-)

GPS for advice.

Amateur Radio
and
Radio Direction Finding
pages.
e.g. tracking a radio transmitter. See picture on the right.
Techys can
add mapping to GPSS.
e.g. from Bing and Google maps; sounds for spoken guidance.
"It's like having a little friend in the car with you" :-)
Make
GPSS speak other languages.
Tried
Geocaching
? "GPS Teasure Hunting" started in 2000. Great fun ! :-)
"Speed Trap ! Watch your speed !"
- see the
speed warning page.
See AVL/CHASE page for remote tracking, including fleet management and security applications.
The last software update was GPSS Baseline v6.97 November 2011 with GPSSppc v14 for Pocket PC based Smartphones.
"where is the book ?" See User Guide to GPSSppc for Pocket PC and GPSS Guide for Windows.
GPSS can track and control multiple vehicles from a fixed
or mobile PC, by use of mobile 'phone, radio or satellite communications.
The objects tracked may be vehicles, people, boats, or even
bottles.
They may be many miles away, but seen on mapping
for 164 countries - right down to "house level" maps.
GPSS can be used in "chase" mode, guiding the driver to a mobile target. See
AsOnTV for UK police doing this in 1996.
Play this video to see what else this free GPS Software can do.
You will see that I am extremely "up front"
about who we are, and our GPS Software business since 1995 - now a hobby :-)
See my
business page.
Big resources are not needed
to give people permission to use GPSS,
or make the occasional software change. I've worked
in larger companies and on larger projects than most people, and have no need to pretend
what I am not.
I greatly respect others who are able to be equally "up front" about
themselves and their own business - however small it is - so don't be shy :-)
I would like to thank the many thousands of "enthusiasts" around the World who helped us test and improve GPSS. This was a family business, but it is still a great network of friends. Thankyou.
