BASIC 50 Years Old
Celebrating 50 years of BASIC! Celebrating 50 years of BASIC! BASIC 50 years old? Wow! Lets say that again, BASIC 50 years old! I cant quite actually believe it. For anyone of my generation, who works in IT, they pretty much will have used BASIC at some point, either at school, or at work. I loved it, even at the age of 8 years old, I wrote my first BASIC program called Hello Daddy on my Dad’s Tandy 1000. I bet he doesn’t remember. For people of my sister-in-laws age BASIC was a simple powerful programming language. BASIC stands for Beginner’s All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code and you can read more over at wikipedia. It was a simple program: 10 PRINT “HELLO DADDY” 20 GOTO 10 I still remember doing it today. Shortly after that he banned me from his computer as I discovered the FORMAT C: command and promptly wiped out […]

Celebrating four years at VMware
Wow! What can I say? Its four years at VMware this month! I cant quite believe how quickly its gone by. I received the email saying that my VASA cubes will be delivered shortly! How awesome is that, a company that honours your four and eight years with some really nice glass art. To read more about the VASA Cubes and how Diane Green got the idea,click here. During my four years at VMware, my life has changed quite significantly. Both personally and professionally. From a personal perspective, I have got married, had a child, moved from the UK to California, then had another child (the first Hill to be born outside of the UK). Phew! What a crazy few years that has all been! I need a break from the family craziness now and lets escape into the tranquility of my daily work… (Tranquil? Yeah right lol) Highlights of […]
