Career change! Sigh.
I haven't been working on Visible. Instead, I've been focusing on projects with the potential to generate some income... and even those haven't been moving forward very quickly.
 
Oh, and I bought my wife a [[wp:IMac (Intel-based)|2020 Intel iMac]]... a week before the new [[wp:IMac_(Apple_silicon)|M1 iMacs]] were announced. Sigh.
 
=Operating Systems=
Line 38 ⟶ 36:
 
My workstation:
*[[wp:Windows 10|Windows 10]], for now. Dual-bootingConsidering withmy anoptions. olderWork versionhappens ofin [https://www.system-rescue.orgvarious Systemsystems Rescueunder CD]emulation.
My server:
*[[wp:Slackware|Slackware Linux]] vv15, for now.current Probably going to switch to OpenBSD in the near future. (Maybe move the fileserver to a Raspberry Pi, undecided.)
My MacBook:
*[[wp:macOS Big Sur|macOS Big Sur]]
Line 47 ⟶ 45:
My G4 Mac:
*[[wp:Mac OS X Leopard|Mac OS X Leopard]]/[[wp:Mac OS X Tiger|Mac OS X Tiger]]/[[wp:Mac OS 9|Mac OS 9]]
My ThinkPad:
*[[wp:eComStation|eComStation]] v2. Yes, I'm seriously running [[OS/2]].
 
It's funny that I own so many Macs, since I consider pre-X Macs to be overpriced toys, but since modern macOS is built on top of a *nix system... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Line 61:
 
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:C99|C99]] instead of the current standard, or writing for the original [[:Category:Visual Basic .NET|VB.Net]] instead of the 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.])
 
On the other hand, I recently installed the current version of [https://www.xojo.com/ Xojo]. Maybe I'll be able to find out what works and what doesn't.
 
===Unsorted Code===
Line 105 ⟶ 103:
 
==My Sourceforge projects==
*[http://eeshell.sourceforge.net/ EEShell2] -- a replacement shell for 32-bit Windows.
**Haven't worked on this for several years. Not really meant for NT6+. (Even has some oddities under XP.) Effectively abandoned.
*[http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/igrokya/ IgrokYa] -- a file type identifier (like [[wp:file (command)|file(1)]] or [https://www.mark0.net/soft-trid-e.html TrID]; originally part of Proxlat (below)).
**The only project I make any pretense of actively working on.
**Not ''quite'' abandoned. I have intentions of restarting this one from scratch.
*[http://sourceforge.net/projects/kanjifinder/ KanjiFinder] -- a tool to help English-speaking users find Japanese [[wp:kanji|kanji]].
**Program's done, but data files are nowhere near complete. Effectively abandoned.
*[http://proxlat.sourceforge.net/ Proxlat] -- a general-purpose binary translator.
**Abandoned as impossible. I might restart this with a narrower scope at some point in the <s>near-ish</s> future.
*[http://sourceforge.net/projects/quickrun/ QuickRun] -- a simple program launcher (started as part of EEShell2).
*[http://sourceforge.net/projects/visible/ Visible] -- a Visual Basic-to-C++ translator.
**Slowly progressing. '''Very''' slowly.
**Restarted! Help wanted!
*[http://sourceforge.net/projects/eriks-tools Erik's tools] -- a small handful of tiny very-specific-purpose utilities I wrote some time ago.
