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.

Hooray! I've been re-hired by The Protium Project. For the next month I'll be three days per week with Protium and two days with International Institute of Business and Technology (IIBT). After that I'll be full-time with Protium.

Doing Batch File, COBOL, Protium, VBScript and Euphoria solutions. Would like to try my hand at Agena and HLA sometime too.

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
