[Sussex] Hello all

[Mark Harrison]

Andrew,

Welcome. A fine choice of platforms... I think it's time I presented the "PCs" I've owned :-)

Sinclair Spectrum 48k
Amiga A500
Sun SparcStation 1 (on which I wrote my first website, in 1995, using CERN httpd)
386sx laptop
Self-build P90 PC
Dell Optiplex PII-300 (Dell Optiplex, for when life is too long to worry about PCs)
Compaq Proliant 1850R
Self-build Via 800 mini-ITX PC

And programming languages in which I have written a non-trivial program:

Logo
Sinclair Basic
C (Unix libraries, Novell libraries, Oracle Libraries)
Lotus Notes' original IDE-thing that didn't have a name other than Lotus Notes, in which I wrote my first workflow application, in 1994
VBA
PERL (forgive me, father, for I have written MySQL control applets in PERL)
Prolog
OCCAM
Orwell (probably the language in which I've written most stuff)
Gofer (now renamed to, erm, I can't remember)

For those who haven't come across it, Orwell is sort of an open-source version of Miranda. In principle I should move over to Haskell, and probably will do if Haskell.NET ever gets released.


Oh - I'm the evil one on the list who actually likes and uses a mix of Microsoft tools, and uses Linux when it's appropriate / easy rather than out of religious fervour :-)

Regards,

Mark
