Aeronautical/mechanical engineer by schooling, programmer by occupation.

My main work is programming database interfaces in perl or C. I started off with BASIC on a TRS-80 and assembler on an IBM-PC back in the early 1980's. I then learned FORTRAN on a punchcard reading IBM mainframe as an undergrad and progressed on to C, perl and bits of Objective C after buying a NeXT in the early 1990's (thus the 'next' part of my moniker). In the late 1990's VisualBasic, Java and JavaS‎crip‎t were added.

I have spent most of the last 15 years using perl to update and generate interactive web pages from database content.

Currently I'm learning the wxWidgets framework to become more flexible in OS platforms supported and polishing my C++.
