About
Hi, I’m Brian Bird, a senior software Engineer at Axian Inc. Currently, I’m converting a large VB6 and C application to VB2005 and C++. I’m enjoying learning .NET as I rewrite this app to make it object oriented and to use the .NET framework.
Previously I’ve done a significant ammount of VB6 programming, and a lot of C++ programming for MFC, ATL, COM, and the Win32 API. (And way back, I did Fortran and Pascal programming on UNIX and DOS machines while earning my BSEE.) Most of the software I’ve written has been for equipment control and test applications, although I’ve also written some data base and e-mail software. A significant number of the programs I’ve written have involved some kind of graphics rendering or video processing.
Most of my career has been spent in the Microsoft world (except for my early days writing semiconductor test programs on UNIX and VMS machines), but I keep hoping that one day I’ll be able to branch out and learn Java. I’d like to write cross platform educational apps that can run on Windows, Mac, Linux, Windows Mobile, and Palm.

Am a retired (sort of) linguist: google me if you wish: Thomas L. (T. L.) Markey. Hope to visit the Yagnobi this summer and need suggestions and how to do so. Thank you for your help in advance. Should I contact Bahriddin Aliev?

We arranged our homestay in Tajikistan through Saiffidin Mirzoev at the Rudaki Institute of Langauge and Literature in Dushanbe. He is the director of the langague department and was qutie helpful. In fact we ended up staying with his family. He frequently helps arrange research trips for visiting scholars.
