My Story

Hi I am Konstantinos and this is how everything started.

As a kid, I was always surrounded by electronics and as most kids will do i used to take them apart.
This fascinating gadgets (btw 10 years ago the word gadget was not really used) were mostly electronic but there were discrete electronics. That helped me a lot later as i will explain to you in a bit. Most kids a my age were taking things apart just to see what was inside or if they don't take it apart they would use the gadget without even knowing how it worked.

At the age of six i got my first computer. I used to try and do things with already made software that others won't be able to do because they just new that it works and not how it worked.

At the age of 11 we had to move to another part of Greece. The  first month there i was really bored because i had basically no friends or relatives there. I had to find a way to pass my evenings. So one afternoon  i was browsing youtube and i came across a video that described and showed how to make a simple 555 led blinking circuit. That was the spark that ignited my interest for electronics.

Almost one year later we had to move back to Rhodes but this time there was something had changed. My interest in electronics had skyrocketed. When i came back to Rhodes i had a lot of electronic components from the gadgets (or toys) that i had taken apart .

At that time electronics were not a popular kids hobby , combine that with the lack of community support for difference and voilà i had technically no friends again.But that wasn't a problem (except those who wanted a cracked game on their computer and they didn't know who to install it ....)

Last year i got into the idea of dsp. My first experience with DSP came from the DVB-T dongle's that can be made to function as an SDR radio and demodulate almost everything. It was that time that i realized the potential of DSP. I started playing with GNU Radio but that wasn't enough. There were some things that you couldn't do in gnu radio. Another big problem with gnu radio was that you cannot share your work to windows users. That bugged my a lot and i started searching for easy programing languages.

So last couple of months i stumbled upon Processing (V2). That was the start of my last project which inspired me to create a blog.
