Joining us from the ancient city of Rome we have Federico "mescalinum"
Ferri. He is joining us to help with tcltk maintenance. He will also
wonder to the territory of media apps. When not doing mescaline inspired
commits, he does electronic music using his synthesizers and plays the
piano. During the day he works as a system engineer doing Linux system
administration. Now everyone please express your deepest hatred for tcltk.

Regards,
Petteri

Nah, I actually like tcltk, even though I don't use tcl for much of
anything any more.  But tk I could actually figure out. :)

Federico, welcome.  Do you compose as well?

I've always wanted to use my ten-finger skills for something other
than a QWERTY keyboard, but never quite got off the ground. You have
my respect. ^_^

Wait, people still *use* tcl/tk!? That's like using BASIC for writing a kernel!

heheh thanks for the welcome.
I'm here not just for telling people how Tcl is NOT obsolete! *grin*
...hmmm... where did I heard that Tcl stands for "The Cool Language" ?? :D

also I'd to spread pure-data all over the world!

but I cannot lie, Tcl needs some love, and I'm already doing some
effort to stabilize 8.5... hope for the best!

yep, when my spare time permits it (but that doesn't happen since a
couple of years, and it's likely to remain so until I'll finished with
the Engineering :D)

I enjoy creating electronic ambient music, but also covers of old
computer games, especially some C64 masterpieces!! :-)
