About Bela Korcsog

Proud father of two children, happy husband to one wife. I've been programming various technologies and leading the development of huge projects for most of the last ten years. I've got some specific likes and dislikes through my experiences in the web site business but generally I'm pretty straightforward about it. Not a huge fan of the latest and greatest shiny toy (it took me four years to show an interest in Flash) I'm more than happy to code in any language that comes along (Actionscript is just so darn fun).

Fun with Winsock (Windows == work of the Devil)

Posted on August 22, 2007 by Bela Korcsog
