Job acquired. Money = yay. 12-hour workdays = not so much.
Job hunting '''''again'''''. Yay.
 
=Operating Systems=
 
I use a lot of OS's:, depending on which physical system we're talking about...
 
*[[wp:Slackware|Slackware]] [[Linux]] 13.37 on my main server
My workstation:
**Also [[wp:Red Hat Enterprise Linux|Red Hat Enterprise Linux]] on my rack server -- but only until I get around to putting something else on it... maybe Slackware, maybe not
*[[Windows]] [[wp:Windows XP|XP]]
**Also [[wp:Windows XP Professional x64 Edition|WinXP x64]] and [[wp:Windows 7|Windows 7]] (32-bit), for testing my programs
***Win7[[wp:Windows isVista|Windows Vista]] and newer are ''way'' too slow on my systems to be usable
****I ''might'' try Win8, if I can get it for free, legally -- but not holding my breath
*[[MS-DOS]] 7.1 (from [[wp:Windows 98#Windows 98 Second Edition|Windows 98SE]])
*[[wp:AROS Research Operating System|AROS]] (a modern [[AmigaOS]] clone), because I wanted a non-Windows, non-*nix, non-DOS OS on my main machine
**Also also theThe x86 version of [[wp:Rhapsody (operating system)|Rhapsody DR2]] (precursor to OSX; essentially [[wp:NeXTSTEP|NeXTSTEP]] + a Mac [[GUI]]), just for kicks
*[[Mac OS]] 8 on my [[wp:PowerBook|PowerBook]]
My server:
**Also [[wp:System 7|System 7]], on my [[wp:Macintosh Performa|Performa]]
*[[wp:Slackware|Slackware]] [[Linux]] 13.37 on my main server
**Also also the x86 version of [[wp:Rhapsody (operating system)|Rhapsody DR2]] (precursor to OSX; essentially [[wp:NeXTSTEP|NeXTSTEP]] + a Mac [[GUI]]), just for kicks
My next computer (a higher-end tablet, currently saving up for it):
*[[wp:Windows 7|Windows 7]]
*[[Mac OS]] 8 on myMy [[wp:PowerBook|PowerBook]]:
*[[Mac OS]] 8
**Also [[wp:System 7|System 7]], on myMy [[wp:Macintosh Performa|Performa]]:
*[[wp:System 7|System 7]]
 
I also toy around with numerous other operating systems under emulation (too many to list, but includes ''almost'' every 32-bit version of Windows, more than a few Linux distros, and several other *nix systems).

===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)|C90]] instead of [[wp:C99|C99]] (or [[wp:C1XC11 (C standard revision)|C1XC11]]), or writing for the original [[:Category:Visual Basic .NET|VB.Net]] instead of VB2010 -- 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.])
