Profile

My name is Satoshi Konno . I live in Tokyo, Japan, and I'm a computer software engineer working at Yahoo Japan in the Roppongi office now.

at Mt. Fuji

Cyber Garage, cybergarage.org, is my personal domain in Japan, I maintain the domain servers with a 128K access line and a ISDN which has two 64K lines at my home from 1996. CyberKogaei, cyber.koganei.tokyo.jp, was my old personal domain from 1994 to 1996, and the domain servers was run as a UUCP site.

Programming room at my home in 1996

I have been loved programming from childhood. My first computer is Fujitsu Micro New 7, FM-New 7. FM-New7 is a 8bit computer which has two 6809 chip sets. Then I used some good Janpenese original computers, NEC PC-9801, FM-TOWNS, Sharp X1, X68000 etc. I use IBM-PC compatible computers now, but it is too bad that there are not good Japanese original computers recentrly.

Main CPU MBL-68B09 (MC68B09 compatible) 8MHz Sub CPU MBL-68B09 8MHz RAM 64KB - free programming area ROM 32KB - F-BASIC, (MS-BASIC) VRAM 48KB - 640x400 / 8 colors Audio device AY-3-0910 - PSG, Programmable Sound Generator Storage device Audio cassette tape recorder (1200 baud) OS ROM BASIC (?)

I started on a wire-frame based 3D programming with FM-BASIC on FM-New 7, I would create a good 3D engine like Wizardry . I started on programming a real 3D engine with GNU g++ and gas or QuickC for Windows on FM-TOWNS. I have done the porting of the 3D engine on Macintosh LC III with Think C, finally on PowerMacintosh 6100/60AV with Code Warrior, but I have not been develop the engine yet. Because I can use 3D engines like OpenGL or Java3D now, I don't have to develop the engine myself.

CPU i80386DX 16MHz Coprocessor i80387 16MHz RAM 10MB - 2MB + 8MB VRAM 512KB - 640x480 / 256 index colors, 320x240 /32768 color Audio device FM 6 + PCM 8 sounds Storage device CD-ROM, 3.5 FDD, 180MB SCSI HDD OS TOWNS-OS - Pharlap DOS-Extender / Windows 3.0 with MME

Recentrly, I have interest in low-end embedded devices for 3D and home networking, and I would like to develop more exciting frameworks or applications into the world.
