Fromscratch closed on Dec 31st, 2008 and this website won't be updated any longer, since I work as a full-time web-developer

for Intrasoft International on the Euresin project for DG COMM.

Thanks to Clients, colleagues and friends who made my 2004-2008 freelance experience unforgettable.

Still working on the website

No real news actually, rather a disclaimer. In the meantime just let me list the Open Source tools / libraries I've being using for this website. Obviously CakePHP, Blueprint for CSS, Simplepie as a CakePHP component for external RSS parsing.

I developed the platform behind the site on my Ubuntu laptop using Eclipse as the main IDE. Now the same laptop is running OpenSuse, Gnome installation. So you may guess that the few graphic elements have been treated by The Gimp and Inkscape.

I stumbled upon the fonts I used via Smashing Magazine (a must-read if you don't know it), which pointed me to the Lacuna font and the MgOpen family - MgOpen Modata in my case.

One day I'll write about I18n / I10l multilingual implementation in the back-end
