'''Bio:'''

Another one from Perth, Western Australia.

I was originally using Tcl in systems administration (via [Expect]) from 2000 or so, but, in 2005 I became interested in Tcl/Tk for its multiplatform GUI and [starpack] deployment. That I could easily code my GUI apps in vi, nano or Textpad and deploy them as single file native executables impressed me greatly.

Aside from systems admin, I use Tcl/Tk for various Shareware projects with a focus on multi-platform release supporting [Windows] (including [Wine] and [ReactOS]), Linux/X11 and [Mac OS X].

'''Tcl Extensions:''' 

   * [TclMacBag] - Mac OS X style widgets on Mac, appropriate [Tile] fallbacks when called on other platforms.
   * [TclTalkback] - A bit like Microsoft Online Crash Analysis for Tcl.
   * [TclMiniSplash] - Small, simple splash screen for Tcl/Tk apps.

'''Tcl Extensions in development:''' 

   * ScoreProgress [http://pc.autons.net/stuff/scoreprogress/] - a progress bar which can display success and failure.

'''Tclish bits and pieces:''' 

   * [Tcl MP3 Alarm Clock] - Find radio shock jocks offensive? Find buzzer and bell ringing sounds an awful way to start the day? Wake up to your MP3s.
   * [USB FAT Semi-Auto-Mount] - Semi-automatically mounts your USB drives to your chosen root directory by their disk label.

'''Some other wiki pages I've had a hand in:'''

   * [getWindowsAPIVendor] - A code snippet to determine if your software is running on Microsoft Windows, Wine or ReactOS.
   * [ReactOS] - It's the open source Windows OS that will smash Microsoft's Windows 7 in 2010.
   * [The (command bound to event) error] - Tips for resolving a less than helpful error message.
