Me and this blog
I’m a computer programmer currently living in Brisbane, Australia. In this blog I mainly discuss technical programming topics, but really anything related to software development is fair game. I believe in good user interface (in terms of usability, not graphics) and good code, and these are things I still would like to talk more about at some point.
If you wish to contact me, my e-mail address is (last name)@gmail.com.
Note that none of the nicks/handles that I’ve used are unique. In fact, most of the “sjohannes”es you can find on the Web are not me.
My projects
Right now I’m only partly involved in one free / open source software project, Exaile. It’s a music player written in Python using the GTK+ toolkit and GStreamer multimedia library, with a UI inspired by old versions of Amarok. My most visible contribution is perhaps the fact that the program runs on Windows. Unfortunately I don’t really have time to work on Exaile lately apart from occasionally fixing small bugs here and there.
I used to be quite active in several other projects: K-Meleon (under the handle “rmn”, maintaining its Searchbar plugin and doing plenty of testing and bug triaging) and Ruby.NET (doing coverage/unit testing and bugfixing). I don’t have much to do with either project any more, but you may still see me talking passionately about Web browsers or programming languages/environments.
