This is a blog for all things technical. Programming, Hardware, Hacking, Blogger, sever configuration, and such.

Real Programmers wrote in machine code. Not Fortran. Not RATFOR. Not, even, assembly language. Machine Code.Raw, unadorned, inscrutable hexadecimal numbers. Directly.

What I do

I learned programming on old computers. Apple ]['s and a VIC20. I gleaned the most useful information from the Secret Guide to Computers, by Russ Walter. Between it and my dad's instructoinal video, I learned how to program in dBase IV on the PC. Only much later did I learn about GWbasic.
I did a little bit of assembly in debug, but I was always scared of destroying the system.
Visual Basic 3.0 got me doing Windows programming. I learned a little C++, but it never stuck.
I still do VB from time to time, but my main language is Perl. The real point of this post is to list the various CGI scripts that I have written

• Magenta, an archaic but powerful content management system.
• A login system that supports either anonymous account creation, or invite-only (ala gmail)
• A multi-room web chat that uses that login system. (and a variant that is just anonymous)
• A web bug so that I can get some usage and referer statistics from my blogs.
• Some scripts to analyze those logs.
• A Magic the Gathering Card database.
• A Web Quiz/personality test system. (I'm pretty sure that the scoring system is Turing Complete, so it supports very complex profiling)
• A tagging system. (though I might just give up and stick with technorati.)
• Most of the parts for a webmail system, but always used for other things.
• A simple password protected web notepad.

Of these, I only see Magenta and the Magic database as remotely marketable, and Magenta needs a major overhaul.
