My first post

I have decided some time ago to start blogging :D OK OK but when and how exactly? I have no Idea!
Any way I'll start now with a short presentation of me and my work.

I'm working with PHP for ... about 10 years. For some time I was working on web based systems. CMS, PMS and a lot of custom development. I have managed to produce one of the most flexible CMS systems on the Open Source "market" - PuzzleApps. This "thing" can be used as Web CMS and as framework for rapid developing of web based applications. I will write about this some time later ;)

I was able to participate in one other Open Source project PgAccess (Tcl/Tk) I do not think that this project is still alive but it was very nice peace of software for managing PostgreSQL databases.

What am I dong now? Well ... in the last few years I was working on a cross platform PHP-GTK2 based projects.
1. Muskogee - software that enables people to enter data and save it in database. Ok that was very stupid explanation! One example will explain it better. Imagine: a magazine is making research using mail cards. They receive this cards back, but how to get information from them? Easy - scan them and send images to people that will read them and write them in suitable format. This is what Muskogee is doing. Display image to the user and give him the possibility ti enter data much easier then using notepad ;)
2. Web based statistical reports for Muskogee.
3. OSCTray - this is software that is intended to control user access to different software under Linux based systems. We have every what programs can use on his PC. OSCSoft gets this data using web services and chmods the software to make it executable to the user or not executible. Also tracks the used programs and keeps the time this program is used, after the program is identified the admin users sees this and can decide to forbid it or ignore it. You can say this is a controlling and monitoring program.

This are the programming languages I can work with:
PHP, Java, C#, Perl, TCL/TK, Bash
And some databases:
MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Firebird
What else ... version control? Yes: CSV and SVN

I prefer to work under Linux. I have tried many distributions in my life (RedHat, Fedora, SuSE, Slackware, Mandrake). Right now I'm using (K/X)Ubuntu and I can say that I'm very happy whit it.

I hope you are not bored from my first post :)
