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.

Hello everyone!
Beside bug fixing and polishing PaintWeb in the past weeks, I have
also prepared a presentation about all the work I did this summer,
as part of my Google Summer of Code project. As such, I talked
about my GSOC project at the Linux
and Virtual Learning Environments 2009 seminary on Friday, the
28th of August.
You can download the presentation slides in Romanian and in
English (PDF).
You may also watch the slides online at Scribd.com, both in
Romanian and in
English. Any feedback is welcome!

Today I finally managed to upload and release my latest project:
PaintWeb. Marius helped me with designing the GUI and with other suggestions.
PaintWeb is a
client-side Web application which allows users to draw online. It
makes use of some newer Web technologies, mainly
the HTML 5 Canvas 2D
context API. Currently,
it's in its infancy, but with lots of work planned ahead.
The major decision for me was to release this project as
open-source, under GPL v3. The project is
now hosted on the Google Code
servers.
Please contribute with feedback, bug reports and even code -
volunteers are welcome!
Lots of bugs in the Web application are already known, nonetheless
that shouldn't stop you from reporting them.
The Web application works in the latest versions of Opera, Firefox, Safari and Konqueror. Obviously, it also works with
any Gecko and WebKit based Web browsers.
Nightly builds of Firefox 3.1 and SVN trunk builds of WebKit have the best support for this Web
application.
I'd like to mention that the greatest surprise to me was that the
new Konqueror 4 has its own Canvas implemention. They've done a
really great job!
I am looking forward to publish more information about the project
and to continue work on it.
Update 3 days later: Back in september we
presented PaintWeb at a local university-organised seminar. Today
we have updated the presentation and we translated it to English as
well. Go ahead and download the English or Romanian
presentation.
