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.

Some Wiki pages I've had a hand in:

Shareware/Commercial apps:

  • Padded [L1 ] - Portable Application Description editor and uploader. (Useful for Shareware authors who want to see their software listed on the many and various software distribution sites.)
  • RReplace [L2 ] - Recursive search and replace in file contents and file names.
  • KTAA [L3 ] - A multiple choice tests authoring app for ktests.com.

Shareware/Commercial apps in development:

  • KTC [L4 ] - A multiple choice tests client app for ktests.com.
  • Canberra [L5 ] - OpenGL game similar to the classic 80s arcade game "Gyruss", but with Australian politician heads as protagonists.

Contact:

Best to use my contact form here [L6 ]. Alternately, I'm sometimes in the Tcl Chatroom.
