risby in a Nutshell
My BA (Hons) in Studies in the Humanities was obtained in 1978 from Hatfield Polytechnic (part of de Montford University now). I got a job at Imperial College Computer Centre in London in September that year where I toyed with many arcane languages: CDC assembler, apl, snobol, forth but used mainly fortran and pascal. We wrote programs by punching Hollerith cards (excellent roach material) but I much preferred the brand new time-sharing terminals.
I started doing microprocessor assembler programming after I left Imperial adding features to printers and terminals and comms boxes.
Started contracting in the nineties mainly writing SQL embedded in C programs to access Ingres or Oracle databases on various Unix platforms. Enjoyed Korn shell and awk scripting.
Got into HTML, Java, Javascript and Perl at the beginning of this century.
I made the decision to have an extended break in autumn 2004 but then didn't work again until the end of 2006?
Now, CAE support for NXP Semiconductors. Jeez, how desperate were they? Still nice to be back.

code painter written by Siavosh Kasravi
Code Colorer v2.0 by Martin Bakiev
and dwks' codeform.
The first two are Windows apps and are well worth a look. The latter is a cli utility so it...
