Hello, my name is Igor Maznitsa and I am a computer programmer. My main hobby is the programming and I've been commercially working in the area since 1997 (for fun and to make some money I wrote computer programs in 1989 for BK-0010 (a Russian PDP-11 clone) and ZX-Spectrum platforms). As every real programmer I have a few my own home projects which I develop for my interest in my free time, a few links to my personal projects you can see above on this page.  If you have interest to get more information about me, you can take a look at my CV.

Because A.I. is one from my favourite directions in the IT area, I still hope that there will be the time when a revolt of typewriters will be possible..

me and Joshua Bloch on a Jug.ru meeting (2008)

    At present mainly I develop in Java but it depends on current projects. I actively use Java since 1999 (my first Java project was a  HTTP server contains a script language based on FORTH (I called it the "Forth Server Page" technology) for a production automating project and it had been being used during long time by the SPb OTIS factory)....

Useful stuff for mobile developers and others..

• The utiliy IMG2SVG allows to convert a raster image into the SVG compatible representation. It is very useful to make icons for Nokia Series 60 devices. It was written in Java 1.6 (src included) (I was notified from NCF that it is a wrong way).
  
• Small sample "How to.." make choice between Nokia API and MIDP 2.0 in runtime by the only MIDlet which is being started on different devices.
• A small script language RRGGL (v.1.00) (it is a Forth like stack based language) allows to write device independed scripts which can be downloaded on a device through the network and be played under J2ME devices (the script language was developed in 2004). The distributive includes both the VM sources and the compiler.
• A utility to check image artefacts of an image which is planned to be shown at a NTSC TV screen. Also, the utility can help to correct found color troubles.Version 1.0.2
• A command line utility to generate a 32bit (ARGB)  integer array or a 256 indexed-palette array from a GIF, PNG or JPG file (it can generate arrays which can be used by the Dynamic Engine 8bpp) (it's very easy utility, I know)
  
• The Dynamic PNG image engine. One from my old developments (2003 year). It contains the Java2me class allows to make a dynamic PNG palette (256 color indexed palette) based images, also in full version it supports graphical primitives (I have placed here only a cutted version, sorry).
• The Mobile Projects Builder. This tool looks like to the SUN WTK (you should understand that the utility is not a new one) but it allows preprocessing with my own developed preprocessor and the main feature (I made it mainly for that) - it can to process a lot of project in the same time (it's very useful when you need to compile or recompile 70-80 projects :))
• The PNG Packer utility v.1.06 (with SAMSUNG and LG color palette correction, it's my old utility started at 2002) allows to increase packing level of a PNG image and correct possible troubles in its color values (as an example it corrects colors which can be transparent on a few old SAMSUNG phones).
