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.
Software Engineer for q-metrics and Mother Tongue Excel translation add-in
Solving RC tasks in FBSL, Lhogho, Batch File, COBOL, Protium, VBScript and Euphoria.
Giving up on JScript.NET which is pretty good, but there just aren't good dev tools for it. It's supported by the .NET command line tools, but not by Visual Studio or SharpDevelop.
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
