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.

Doing Lhogho, 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
