    1. I wrote 2 VB.NET language features that will ship as part of VS 2010.

    2. I designed a programing language called Liberty,

      However, I’ve only implemented a small fraction of it. I stopped working on it so that I could concentrate on building a profitable software company. My original intent was to market the language (actually an IDE for it) as my first product, but the economics of programing languages being as they are, I decided to pick something else for my company’s first product. I’ve been thinking about turning it into an open source project. If the statement ‘A programing language that feels like LISP, but looks like C#…’ has any appeal to you, and you are interested in working on an open source .NET compiler, let me know.

    3. I started my own software company

    4. I’ve designed and implemented most of my company’s first product ‘Transactor Code Agent’, which should be shipping in Q1 2009. I’ve been billing it as a ‘Disaster Recovery Tool for Programmers’.

      It’s a tool that provides automatic local version history for source code. You point it at the folders that contain your source, and then anytime you make a change to file it automatically creates a backup for you. It’s meant to be a compliment to existing source control setups, by protecting all the ‘broken’, ‘in-progress’ work that you usually don’t check into source control.

      By the way, we are looking for beta-testers. If you are interested let me know.
