Who is PenguinCoder?
Programmer; network and systems administrator; web developer; Linux geek.
I design elegant solutions to complex problems.
I am PenguinCoder.
As an avid programmer with a passion for open source and the GNU/Linux platform, I have experience with a variety of programming languages, frameworks, and cross platform development. Some of the pogramming languages and uses I have experience with include:
- Python- (Web: Django,Plone), (Application: Stand-alone, PyQT, Twisted, ReportLabs)
- HTML/CSS- (Web: CSS 2-3, XHTML, HTML 4 Transitional)
- Javascript- (Web: Stand-alone, Node.js, jQuery)
- PHP- (Web: Stand-alone, Zend)
- C++- (Application: Stand-Alone, QT, Boost)
Although I have experience in other areas, networking and web applications are my primary development areas. Many of the work projects I have developed are close source, industry specific applications and cannot be shared directly. Other personal projects I take on are either snippets of code used to enhance my daily job functions, or as a hobbist expanding my knowledge. I am usually always looking to take on rewarding and challenging projects. I find creating elegant solutions to complex problems a very rewarding and worthwhile goal, both in personal projects and work projects. With regards to website creation, design, and creation, I lean towards the underlying structure, the back-end web development over designing layouts or page elements.

Reloaded blazons
11 MAR2013
My heraldic blazon images have been reinstated, and I hope to continue making more of them. In case you don't know what they are, this article should help clear that up! These blazons, as they're called, are for the in realm descriptions(Coat of Arms) of different characters. I really enjoy designing the textual and visual representations of the heraldry. If you want to know more about how to get one created, contact me in game!
Updating/adding code
11 JAN 2013
I decided to add some of the only available public code I have, back to the site. This will be mainly specific items related to gaming, (MUDs) or other small code snippets. Most of the other code I work on daily, is obviously not up for sharing! (This includes some items at GitHub, and Bitbucket.) All in all, I do hope to be able to show off real world coding examples in the near future. Enjoy.
Spammy new year
04 JAN 2013
Spammers decided to try and abuse my contact form. Of course they would; so I disabled that contact method for the time being. Going to work on a more secure contact form as well as putting up some additional code content and interest in the above section. Hopefully the additional content will help to spur conversation and requests.
Winter Solstice '12
21 DEC 2012
So. Solstice 2012 and we're all still here. I think some congratulations are in order. Look at all the stuff that has survived the apocalypse; people, plants, and penguins alike. On that subject, it seems the Mayans failed to accound for the dissapearence of the world wide web. This should come as no surprise of course, but I'm sure it must have taken a lot of skill and insight for developers to account for and overcome this tragedy! I for one, am thrilled to be able to design and build web sites with Apocalypse Prevention Techniques,which includes, but is not limited to, simply not believing in such religious idealogies. See you next apocalypse.
An updated site
13 DEC 2012
Beginning a new style and direction with the website. More content to be added, but for now just streamlining or removing the MUD game related items that've been cluttering up the site.
