About the author.
Ah, that's me! My name is Joost Vrielink and I live in Enschede, The Netherlands. I'm a electrical engineering student at the University of Twente. As you can see I'm not very old and have a few years to go before the big cash comes rolling in... Meanwhile I spend a lot of time training for triathlons and building my social network (= drinking beer). Oh yeah, I also have this project called Tasm IDE.
I started this in september 1998 with a tiny program that could edit a single assembly file. It was utter crap. I lost the source and the program however so I'll probably never get memorised about it. Since then I've made a lot of versions and lost most of them too including source, but they were all crap anyway. Versions 1.1 and 1.2 are the first that are actually useful.
As you may have discovered development is not very quick but that's due to my chaotic way of programming. Once in a while I want to add something, but I often forget how my old code works. This forces me to start again programming the whole thing. This way I've restarted about 4 or 5 times which is obviously not the fastest way to add something to a program. This is also the reason that the looks have changed so much since the beginning. Anyway, I've recently discovered that adding comments is quite a nice solution to my memory-loss problem. This has the disadvantage that no new looks will appear soon. The advantage is that new updates may come quicker (that is: relatively quicker).
Contact me: If you have anything to say to me, feel free to send an e-mail. Please do not send me assembly related questions, search usenet or whatever. What I do want you to send: bugs and errors in my program, suggestions and anything else concerning my program. Also other life stories, job offers, death treaths and greetings are welcome.
