Programming
I started programing with q-Basic and Visual Basic 6. Now that I'm a full grown man,
I'm really into programming small (almost) useless programs with:

Java (j2se, j2me, j2ee)
Android
C#
MySQL
Linux Bash
PHP-Ajax

I can handle the following languages as well:

xHTML/CSS etc
C/C++
Visual Basic
Qbasic

I love programming applications for mobile devices like cellphones and PDAs
as well as programming network applications and developing web sites.

Check some of the programs I have written at the Projects page

Wireless
I'm also interested in wireless networks.

I joined the Athens Wireless Metropolitan Network forum at Jan 05, 2004.
Unfortunately I couldn't set up a wireless node then (because it was so time and money consuming for me), so I took the decision to participate to the local wireless network of the city I would go for my studies.

It was the end of August when I started to search on google if there was a wireless network at Nafpaktos and I found this!

At that forum post there was the description of the wireless connection between Nafpaktos and Patras and the first report of wireless network activity in Nafpaktos. I came in contact with Leonidas and Basilis, the two guys from Nafpaktos and soon I was connected to Nafpaktos Wireless Network.

This led to the creation of www.nafpaktoswireless.info which later hosted on my server and became http://nwn.nsdc.gr. The site still works.

Later, Leonidas and Basilis left for their studies, so NWN was supported by a few student's of the local TEI (Technological Education Institute) of Nafpaktos.

I convinced Thanos and Manos, two of my very close friends to participate in NWN and we spend lots of hours risking our lives trying to search for the best SnR.

I may didn't had the chance to create a big wireless network, with a lot of nodes and lot of users, but I learned a lot about wireless networking and server services and I really had a great time. Thank you guys:)

When I came to Patras, I tried to connect to Patras Wireless Network, but the news wasn't so good. You can check my tiny wireless blog here.

Android
I'm very interested in Google's OS Android.
I own a white G1 :)

I am developing applications for Android that are published to the Android Market. You can check them at the project's page.

I consider myself very lucky I'm working on Android at Bytemobile

I have created and support the Android Greek Developers Community Site at www.AndroidDev.gr

You can check the Android presentation I gave to Hellug and to PLUG here (in greek)

GNU/Linux
I love Systems and Network administration especially when it comes to Linux.

I use GNU/Linux Debian as operating system for my PC's.

I'm also interested in computer networks, computer and network security, and cryptography.
