Somewhat obviously, my name is Erik Siers. I'm one of the [[:Category:BASIC|BASIC]] cheerleaders on RC. (I can do other languages, but I prefer BASIC by a lot.) I'mve inbeen anda outmember of hereRC for a long time -- I created my account on noAugust regular5th, schedule2009 -- but I mightam contributenot aone fewof the original crew, not timesby a weekfew foryears. severalI months,don't thenreally disappeardo completelyany foredits severalany more; my last meaningful edit (besides this page) was in mid-2018.
 
=Current events=
 
I've restarted my Visible project. (Link below.) It's now divided into 23 sub-projects, a [[:Category:Visual Basic|VB]]-to-[[:Category:C++|C++]] translator, and a [[QuickBASIC|QB]]-to-[[:Category:C|C]] translator., (Iand haven't changeda the SFVB-to-[https://www.netappgamekit.com/ pageAppGameKit] yettranslator.) I'd appreciate some help, if anyone has any interest -- doing this as a one-man show has been an exercise in futility.
 
'''''Previously:'''''
Line 38 ⟶ 33:
Someone remind me to do some work on [[wp:Rocky Mountain BASIC|Rocky Mountain BASIC]]. And [[wp:BCX|BCX]]. [[:Category:Visual language|Visual languages]] could use work.
 
<s>On the other hand, I need to do some [[wp:MIPS|MIPS]] work. And [[:Category:Kotlin|Kotlin]] (edit: and [[:Category:APL|APL]]) interests me.</s>
 
=Operating Systems=
Line 44 ⟶ 39:
I use a lot of OS's, depending on which physical system we're talking about...
 
My workstation:
*[[wp:Windows 7|Windows 7]]
My tablet:
*[[wp:Windows 10|Windows 10]]
My Mac:
*[[wp:Mac OS X Snow Leopard|Mac OS X Snow Leopard]] (well... Actually, Slax right now. HDD died and I don't have an OS install disk.)
 
I also toy around with numerous other operating systems under emulation. If it's Windows, or it's freely available, I probably have it installed.
 
=My code contributions=
Line 55 ⟶ 52:
Unless otherwise specifically indicated, I disclaim any rights I might have to any code that I have posted to Rosetta Code, and assign any appropriate copyright to [[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]]. (Everything posted to RC is automatically covered by the GNU FDL anyway.) This specifically applies to code that '''''I''''' have posted. ''Other people's'' code that I have made changes to belongs to ''them'', not me, and I disclaim any rights I might have to those changes. (See [[Rosetta Code:Copyrights]] for RC's copyright policy.)
 
So far, I've only created a single task, [[Sorting algorithms/Pancake sort]], and I think it's unlikely that I'll create any more at this point.▼
*My very first RC edit was adding [[BASIC]] to the task [[Convert an integer into words]] (now [[Number names]]).
*My 100th edit was creating the [[QuickBasic]] -&gt; [[QuickBASIC]] redirect page.
*My 250th edit was creating the [[Windows Scripting Host]] -&gt; [[Windows Script Host]] redirect page.
*My 500th edit was re-adding the [[Template:Implementation|implementation template]] to [[PowerBASIC Console Compiler]]. (Sigh.)
*My 1000th edit was moving [[XOR Pattern]] to [[Munching squares]].
(I stopped keeping track of how many edits I've done several years ago.)

===REALbasic===
 
It should be noted that all [[:Category:REALbasic|REALbasic]] examples that I've written (which can be found by looking through [[Special:Contributions/Eriksiers|my user contributions page]]) were written in REALbasic 5.5.5, which is several years old. (For comparison, this might be considered somewhat akin to writing in [[wp:C90 (C version)C99|C90C99]] instead of the current standard, or writing for the original [[:Category:Visual Basic .NET|VB.Net]] instead of VB2010the current release -- my examples will ''probably'' work under modern versions... but they might not. [http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/Y/Your-mileage-may-vary.html YMMV.])
 
===Unsorted Code===
Line 123 ⟶ 113:
 
=Quote of the Day=
I wish I had started with assembly... or C... or anything other than BASIC,
The brain is so used to filling in gaps that
really. That way, it would've been "Wow, BASIC is so much easier!" rather
we accept what it hands us without question.
than "Wow, everything else is SO MUCH HARDER!"
