CodeProject: CodeProject. Free source code and programming help

Working as a software developer since 1989. Started out with Basic, FORTRAN and JCL, moved into Visual Basic 1.0, C, then C++, and now I work mainly in C++ using MFC, Win32, and ATL/COM. I use Microsoft Products only because that is what gives me gainful employment. Through work, I have a lot of experience with HTML, JavaScript, XSL transformations, the XMLHTTP object, PHP 4.x, and simple COM object integrations.

I've worked for the University of Oklahoma in the school of meteorology (Go SOONERS!), consulting, and now as a Senior Software Engineer. These things keep my lights on and electricity going. My dream job is to own a bowling alley and rub elbows with pro-bowlers!

I've had a number of computers through the years, some that I wish I still had. The love of programming started on a friends TI-99 4a in 1982. From there I worked through Commodore (VIC-20, 64, Amiga 500). After the Amiga I went without a PC for a long time. I just worked on the one at the office. Around 2000, when XP came out, I assembled, from components, my first PC. I got bitten by the need to constantly upgrade the Motherboard, BIOS, CPU, RAM, and VGA cards. When AGP was discontinued, I discontinued that addiction and still have that machine and work from it from time to time. Who knows how many thousands of wasted dollars were dropped into that box.

I now am using a beefed up Compaq Presario F700 to do most of my work. It has been upgraded to use a 64bit 2.0 GHz CPU, 7200 RPM 320GB HDD, and 4GB of RAM. My main studio of choice is VS2005.

I will upgrade it whenever 2010 is finally out and stable. My upgrade path involves taking a night course at a junior college so that I can get all the free MS swag that the professors give you in order to complete the course work.
(This is how I have my current 2005 professional edition)
