Hello world!

Well, I've finally done it and installed a blog.  In this blog I have a place to publish my thoughts and accomplishments for anyone who may be interested.  Also I plan to start some discussions about Software Engineering topics and projects as I post about them.

First let's hear from my favorite scripting languages:

#/usr/bin/python
print "Hello World\n"
#/usr/bin/ruby
puts "Hello World\n"
#/usr/bin/php
echo "Hello World\n";

Then a blast from the past. I programmed in QBasic for roughly 6 years. I've since forgotten it all. I even had to look up the syntax for comments.

' This is Q-Basic
CLS
phrase$ = "Hello World!"
LOCATE 13,40
PRINT phrase$
END

And now two of my favorite compiled languages:

(* This is OCaml *)
print_endline "Hello world!";;
// This is C#
using System;
class MyClass
{
  static void Main()
  {
    Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");
  }
}

The LaQs are on the way.

I finally ordered the LaQ construction toys I've been wanting.  I can't wait till they get here.  They're made by a Japanese company so they're hard to find.  My favorite online store www.constructiontoys.com is going out of business and their remaining stock is all half off.  Here are some picture of the kits I ordered.
