Welcome to my corner of the web!

My name is Mihai and all I do is web development, be it server-side (PHP, mySQL and others) or client-side. I am mainly interested of Web standards and related technologies. I have good experience with Flash as well, but I no longer like it much.

I have contributed to various web standards-related mailing lists, with reviews and comments to web specifications like HTML5. Additionally, I also worked on several projects of my own.

I am an Opera browser user, but I work on the Firefox browser for Mozilla. I also like Webkit and KHTML. I am an Ubuntu Linux user - no dual-boot.

Linux, Konqueror 4 and more

5 November 2008, 11:44

Sunday I upgraded my Ubuntu installation to the new version: Ubuntu 8.10. Almost three years ago I switched to using Linux exclusively. I haven't reinstalled Ubuntu since then. I always upgrade my system every 6 months, and then I spend a few days fixing post-upgrade issues. It's a pleasure. ;)

I am working on a new painting Web application. The greatest surprise to me was that the new Konqueror 4 implements <canvas>, and it does this theoretically better than Opera. I will make my Web application public and you will see this. Amazing and very quick work done by the Konqueror developers. Congratulations, guys!

Note: I initially thought that the Konqueror implementation of Canvas is just a copy of the code from Webkit, but it's not. They wrote their own code, which is great.

On a related note, I have published a new page with some of my Linux configuration files.
