Also web technologies such as HTML, CSS, DOM, AJAX, and JavaScript. And in the opposite direction, micro-programming (programming the microcode inside a processor).

innovation

    I invented Quick Pick. In the first two weeks after its introductiuon every state and national lottery in the world was using it. In a year the numbers of persons gambling doubled and the widespread public play of government lotteries led to the current positive view of gambling and the success of televised poker.

    I created the Electric Emperor CD-ROM (educational software for the general public). I was the only programmer. My software was much more advanced than Macromedia’s Director (the leader at the time, which had a work staff of hundreds), with far more active elements than MacroMedia could handle, including experimental animation techniques. I created a brief full screen animation for the opening at a time when Apple’s QuickTime was still postage stamp sized. I created glowing buttons years before Apple famously introduced them in Mac OS X (and my version included the glow on the surrounding metal, an animation detail Apple still hasn’t matched).

    I have worked on consumer software, operating systems, compilers, credit union software (and discovered errors in the Treasury Department’s software), satellite software, numeric processing software, scientific software, and more.

    A web site on dozens of operating systems simply can’t be maintained by one person. This is a cooperative effort.

If you have any extra copies of docs, manuals, or other materials that can assist in accuracy and completeness, please send them to Milo, PO Box 1361, Tustin, CA, USA, 92781.
