Nikolas Pattakos' personal e-corner
Welcome! Link to heading
One more developer’s personal webpage / blog. Yes, I know, they are a dime a dozen :) .
It serves mostly for my own note taking/documentation. It would be nice if some of its content was also useful to some people.
I have been a long time free software and linux enthousiast, fascinated by computer programming. Any comment is appreciated and welcomed, please feel free to contact me.
