Somewhat obviously, my name is Erik Siers. I seem to be the current BASIC cheerleader on RC. (I can do other languages, but I prefer BASIC by a lot.)
I've been working on a VB4/5/6-to-ANSI-C/C++ translator for a while. A long while -- first got the idea several years ago. No released code as yet, but it's progressing... slowly. Really slowly. One problem is that I'm writing it in VB6, so that it can translate itself (a self-hosting compiler). I also need to do it without using any API calls whatsoever. (Not that hard, but I've already had to kick myself a few times.)
I could use some help, actually. Anyone familiar with non-.Net Visual Basic, C, or C++ would be very much appreciated. If you wanna join the party, drop me a line.
Current events
I found a working wireless card at a yard sale.. and there are several unsecured wireless networks around my apartment with internet access... <_< >_>
Operating Systems
I use a lot of OS's:
- Windows (98SE & XP on the hardware, several other versions emulated)
- Linux (Slackware on the hardware, a few other distros emulated)
- DOS (MS-DOS 7.1 on the hardware, a few others emulated)
- OS/2 (eComStation, emulated)
- Mac OS 7 (aka System 7, both on the hardware and emulated)
- (soon to possibly be replaced by A/UX -- if I can get it to install)
- QNX (emulated)
- BeOS (emulated, sorta)
- various other toy OS's that you've never heard of
I do not use BSD. I don't have anything against it, but I'm too used to the Linux way of doing things, and BSD is just... different. (Okay, I suppose that Linux is the different one, but you know what I mean.)
My code contributions
I disclaim any rights I might have to any code that I have posted to Rosetta Code, and assign any appropriate copyright to Michael Mol. (Everything posted to RC is automatically covered by the GNU FDL.)
This specifically applies to code that I have posted. Other people's code that I have made changes to belongs to them, not me, and I disclaim any rights I might have to those changes.
Links
I put up my programming links on their own page. Have fun.
