Who is Myriadbits?

I am a Dutch programmer that has been developing code since I was a teenager. Started programming on an Atari 800XL, without any harddrive and/or floppy drives (a floppy is a kind on USB-stick for those that do not know). Everytime I switched off the computer, all my code was gone…

I learned a lot of other languages since then, Pascal, Assembler, C, C++, C# etc., etc. I have been programming code for embedded software, from DSP’s to the simple stuff, middleware, servers, clients and all kind of UI’s. All kind of databases, operating systems in all kind of businesses. You might call me quite a broad developer.

I am currently employed at a large global company that creates solutions for the broadcasting industries. Developing software in the mother of all languages C and C++ (some people might disagree).

During my programming years I developed a number of usefull tools and libraries in my spare time. This site  is my first attempt to share some of my code with others. Some code might be usefull to others.

Enjoy!

Why the name Myriadbits? Mostly because it was one of the few names I could find that was still available, but on the other side, I programmed myriad and myriad bits.... (I think I easily program a myriad bits a day, even in C++) and of course: It sounds good!
