Informal Education

VHDL Synthesis, Synopsys, Canada. Designed an ASIC (autocorrelator chip) with VHDL dan hand circuit construction. Played with VXI-based test instruments (wrote few small programs for HP-UX based VXI instruments).

Other skills include

• hardware design (I was an amateur radio, my call sign was YD1GXM, but inactive for ages), construct circuits, powe supply, and the like.
• programming in various languages such as perl (my favourite, I used to be the maintainer of ftp site for MS-DOS port of perl), C, C++, java (worked with network computing for a few months), sh, awk, sed, basic, pascal, VHDL, verilog, promela, assembly (6502, 6800, 68HC11, Z80), SQL. (Now learning python.) I have coded many programs (for example aser, mail based archive server for Waffle BBS) and small scripts. Too many to mention.
• OS hacking: Linux (started when still version 0.12), Sun OS, Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, Windows.
• Learned compiler construction (via Aho's dragon book) and many O'Reilly books.
• Network programming (learned through many W. Richard Stevens' books, great books)
