I was tweeted by the mother ship in my sleep

Actually, I was awake, but offline. When I posted last night, I had exactly zero RSS subscribers and one twitter follower – a family member. I woke up this morning to find I had blog comments, RSS subscribers, and twitter followers. People – not just people, programmers – actually read that mess I posted. The pressure is on now.

So, thank you ScottGu for the great press! The second post in the series will be coming shortly.

Hello World!

Hi boys and girls. Today, we’re going to talk about computer programming, technology, and surviving thriving in an IT department.

As you might have guessed by the blog title, I’m a fan of BASIC programming languages. I’ve been programming on PCs since about 4th grade when I first started tinkering with BASIC on my family’s 286 IBM PC clone running DOS 3.3. The language has come a long way since line numbers and GOSUBs.

Just to be clear, I’m not one of those VB weenies who makes a living by hammering out form after form with drag-and-drop designers. I write code. I create. I use the whole language, not just the clicky-widgets and IDE dohickeys.

So, stay tuned for some great info on advanced Visual Basic.NET, and programming and technology in general.
