Where I work, I am a software engineer–so I do a lot of coding. In the (almost) 4 years I have been there, we (another se, and me) have used mostly VB6 for just about everything…and we have several programs that we have written in-house that range in function. Mostly data handling/analyzation/stuff.
Anyway, as Win7 and Vista started spreading around and VB6 does not even run the IDE on those OS’s, we started searching for coding alternatives over a year ago.
The primary choices were:

At the other domain (link on the right, to jrob CodeStuffs), I’ve made a few modifications. I was playing with PHP a bit, and reorganized the pages. Then I added a table in my MySQL db and put the info in there, so the page can be created dynamically from information in the db. It’s still really simple, but it is just a side project, and I’m not putting a whole lot of work into it.
I’ve been programming a lot with PureBasic lately, and on my code page I’ve added a couple of initial simple projects. The first is a “speed test” which I used to time some operations, but was primarily so I could learn the dynamics of the database operation.
The other parses through PureBasic source code, and creates a declarations file (or multiple declaration files, if desired). I use this pretty regularly. Of course, there are several on the PureBasic forums that may work better, but it was more fun for me to write my own. And since I am still getting used to the language, it was a learning experience also.
Now I can really dig in and get to work–I have a pretty extensive program at work that I have written in VB6…looking to see some vast speed improvements with converting to PureBasic!

I got the other website up and going again. I am using it to host code sources and other things like that which may be useful.
Currently in the forums I have mentioned doing a speedtest between PowerBasic and Purebasic, I have posted the timing results, and will post links to the sources soon.

I added a new “programming” section to the forums. I figured this made sense, as it is what I do for a living, should help me keep things straight, and maybe I can provide some info for people looking for related material.
Although I do mostly…well…predominantly Windows programming, hopefully I can work in some linux coding as well.
Currently I just added these sections:
I use mostly PowerBasic these days at work, converting from old VB6. Things are always subject to change, though.
