Webdevelopement, some Windows programming

What I do if I'm not doing the above

(apart from the usual amount of family, sleeping, eating, and such)

I write stories sometimes [in German]
I do some art [3]
and sometimes I twiddle with sound to make [Soundtracks] (~3mb mp3) for Live Role Playing Games

My interest in Lua

small, compact and very powerfull.
And having a port for EPOC top of the list for my kind of [cross platform scripting]

What brought me to Lua / my hopes

I am constantly on the search for a language that gives me: Ease of programming, cross-platform, and all that in a easily distributable way. Classical scripting languages like Perl/Python fall short here, as the all need a large set of lib-files to be installed on the target system. REBOL comes extremly close to what I want, with only one big drawback: it is commercial (not open), so I'd be dependent on the vendor to change/improve/maintain it.

What I still miss in Lua

Nothing much really, nothing I couldn't put in myself with a little help from my friends *G* [LuaCheia]

Pages you can blame me for

LuaXml some sample XML handling code from the lua-l
PipesOnWindows how to enable pipes for Lua on Windows
LuaFuzzy an example binary Module see LuaBinaryModules
BinaryModuleTutorial
LuaWebserver - some thoughts about building a webserver in Lua or a module that gives Lua the ability to server static/dynamic content via HTTP
