Things I'm Proud of
Work
The things I am most proud of are the MRL/Risetime Realtime system: stuck that
jobber into a half-assed little Japanese chip, without even a damn latching chip
driver for the LEDs and buttons. But I was stuck with the lousy electronics
design. 16K ROM did the whole bugger, in C (and a non-optimizing
cross-compiler added a headache or two). It was all mine, too, start to
finish.
Another thing I was proud of was a Hydrogen Monitor Circuit Board I designed
for UOP/Monirex. It was my first PCB Design, and included a power supply, a
digital section, and anolog components on a single PCB. Did it without a power
or ground plane, to save money. And it was still in use 9 years later when I
had occasion to work for them in another capacity.
I am also quite proud of the AutoCAD application I did for ductwork drafting.
The project was way underbid, and only by creating this program did I bring the
company to break-even on it.
Recently, someone asked "Do you hate seeing HTML in posts?" and my
answer was this javascript, which reminds
the receiver that HTML is not to be used in posts, and asks if they'd
like to close their browser.
Great Thoughts
A quote of mine I put on
the net in alt.creativity a while back. It was picked up, and now is the slogan
of, of all things, and electrical engineering company:
Airborne
And an advertising group:
DogHouse Advertising and Marketing Consultation
Other places it is copied:
Another quote I offered got picked up by zdnet:
"As a developer, programmer, and entrepreneur, I strive for creation
of effective software. For me, it is a matter of honesty. Any company
that does not offer a MBG or a pre-trial is practicing fraud -- even
if the software is bug-free. " -- Jonathan Mark: Schattke
