I have programmed a lot of different languages and operating systems over the years... assembly language on an ancient IBM mainframe, FORTRAN on a bizarre 36-bit Honeywell, SNOBOL on a DEC-20, REXX on an Amiga... I even learned TECO once.  (Ah, the memories.  Will anyone wax nostalgic someday about good old .Net?)

Back in those Good Old Days of the 20th Century, I wrote a bunch of freeware and shareware for the AmigaThis page lets anyone who still uses one of those download any or all of it, including source code.  It includes Amiga versions of the Info-Zip Group's Zip and Unzip tools, since I was (and occasionally still am) a contributor to that group, and maintained the Amiga port.

Coming soon: When I was a student, my very first "big" software project was an old-school text adventure game called Lugi.  It was pretty silly, and fun.  Recently I dug it up and began porting it into Java... then while I was at it, started making a parallel version in C#.Net.  The two versions can be kept tightly in sync, because the languages are so similar.  Each can be run with multiple choices of IO interface: as a command-line program, as a web application, or in the Java case, as an applet that puts a fake command-line window in your browser.  That latter form, at the very least, will be available here once it's complete and debugged.

...Okay, to be honest, now that I'm employed full time again this is probably coming not-so-soon.  (This page used to be where I featured my résumé and shit... under those circumstances, naturally, projects like Lugi.Net got a lot more attention.)
