Starting RSS Graffiti
A year ago, around January 2009, I was looking for a way to liven up the Fan Page I was maintaining in Facebook for Blues.Gr (the Blues social network I run on Ning). One easy thing to do, was obviously to post to the Facebook Fan Page wall, updates from Blues.Gr so that people can learn about what is going on over at Blues.Gr easily through their daily Facebook activity feeds. Best way to do that of course was to do it automatically by reading the RSS feeds available on Blues.Gr and posting any new entries to the Facebook Fan Page. So I started looking for a Facebook application that would do just that…

ECDIS software
I am working on two ECDIS projects in parallel. Both have to do with monitoring sea traffic. As some details of the projects are confidential, I am not currently able to release any details on the projects themselves. But I can talk about my work in those two projects. Project A: The goal is to create a system that will help track ships that are involved in, or responsible for different types of events that can happen in the seas.

The project approaches the problem by creating a system that will allow for…
XML CV
This one is a personal project. It started a few years ago (somewhere in mid 2003), when I created my previous web site (same address, older technology), which was based on Windows SharePoint Services version 2.0. Goal of the project was to create a single source CV for multiple platforms and applications. Requirements: Edit the CV content only once Maintain the CV in two languages (English & Greek) Use everywhere web for online reading, MS Word & Adobe PDF for distributing and printing, whichever else application comes along as need Obvious solution was: use XML and XSLT. After browsing around for standards I discovered (back then), the XMLRésuméLibrary Project which defined an XML vocabulary for…
What I’m currently working on…
I decided to start posting about my current projects. Lot’s of times I promise myself that "I will publish something about this great project after I finish it". But, I never managed to keep those promises. Why? Simply because there is always a next big thing after the last. I came to realize that if I talk about my work a posteriori, then I have to make a case out of it and present it as such. That’s a big project on its own and needs time I don’t usually manage to find and devote. That’s often called marketing. Still, work in progress is always worth a look at and at the same time is…
