In summary, scripting and Tcl have changed my programmer's life. There is before and after. I am a researcher and have been involved in numerous prototyping projects where we show people how to use the technology that we are focusing on (multi-user VR).
Before, we were coding horrible applications in C, it tooks months for a pale result. Then, I interfaced Tcl to our toolkit and now we can do in weeks what took us months before.
If you are interested, have a look at DIVE http://dive.sics.se/ . The page has already been outdated for several years, but we are still working on the software behind it.
I have changed research area since I last wrote something in here, but am still using Tcl for most of my work. I have made a library called the TIL [L1 ] available for download and hacking. I am also making available some libraries on my home page [L2 ], feel free to use them, they are BSD licensed.
I appear here and there in this Wiki, usually as EF. Here are the places where I made some sort of significant contribution.
- The DIVE page, though initiated by someone else, feels like mine, since I am the architect behind the DIVE/Tcl "revolution".
- The TIL is my way to give back years of satisfaction to the Tcl community. The library contains plenty of what I hope is useful code.
- TAX Revisited is my own take on a revisited minimalist XML parser.
- I have made a proper package [L3 ] of e: the tiny editor for eTcl [L4 ].
- outlog [L5 ] rotates log file automagically, you'd better off picking up the (more up to date) implementation in the TIL.
- Skype and Tcl is one my latest additions, I hope to get this growing as I go on with my experiments.
- I extended a bit htext.
- The LongLat Converter will help you out when converting between all the different ISO formats for Longitude and Latitude.
- DNS Library Revisited is now part both of the tcllib and the TIL. Sadly these are two slightly diverging versions and out to merge at some point.
- Java UTF Socket Communication says almost it all. And while we are into Java, this [L6 ] will help you finding where it is installed!
- This debugging helper [L7 ] will help you watching the creation of global variables (in sub-namespaces).
- The winapi library is an (incomplete) attempt to provide a low-level layer to access the Windows API.
- The Batch Changing Modification Time of Pictures is a little script that will use JPEG EXIF data to re-date the files according to the EXIF DateTime fields.
- A(Modified)(Simple)Meter is an improvement over A(Simple)Meter from the french wiki. I felt like I had done enough improvements to give it a life on its own, and that it would benefit to more people by having a space here.
Nowadays, I also have started some activity on the french wiki [L8 ]. I will probably keep most of my contributions here though.
