Final words
In the course of getting my degree in theoretical physics, I had to get intimately acquainted with computers; I have worked extensively on numerous platforms (DEC Alpha, VAX/VMS, AOS/VS, Macintosh, Windows from 3.1 on up, Linux). This meant that I could finance my education by writing software. Apart from a multitude of web applications, I have also written semi-major (for one person, at least) applications; I am most proud of the program I wrote to make it possible to extract files from a shell built on the AOS/VS platform (a piece of software that even the AOS/VS vendors themselves told my employers would take at least six months to write for a very knowledgeable person working full time, but which I finished in less than three weeks) and transfer them to MS Windows. I am fluent in a number of programming languages, the main ones being Perl, C, C++, Java, Delphi and (well, yes) Visual Basic.
