G'day. My name is Bruce Axtens. I've been programming since 1977. Started on Canon Canola calculators (like this one) and also wrote some Wang BASIC. My programming weblog is at Code-a-holic.

Up until recently I was Software/Test Engineer for The Protium Project, however the GFC has put an end to that for the time being. At present I'm IT Manager for International Institute of Business and Technology (IIBT). Website will appear sometime this year.

Doing Batch File VBScript COBOL and Protium solutions.

What Rosetta Code is to me

• A place to sharpen my programming skills
• A place to invite other programmers to so that they can sharpen their skills too
• A place of escape
• A source of inspiration
