Hello World

Hi,

I'm John Rusk.

I cut my first code on one of these, an Ohio Scientific Superboard II from the late '70's. The machine shipped as a bare circuit board with the chips on the back and the keys on the front. A previous owner had built a wooden case, overclocked it to 2 Mhz and expanded the memory to 16 K.

From the joys (and frustrations) of writing my own games in BASIC on the Superboard, its been a long road to the joys (and frustrations) of writing business software in C#. In this blog I'm going to write about some of what I've learned, and some of my ideas for the future.

This will be a programming blog. My other geeky passion is Agile Development, which I already write about elsewhere.

You can find my email address here.

Welcome to my blog.
