RosettaCode repositories

If contributors/owners of a specific code are not happy with this, they can email me and I will erode their code from the archives.

I've put into archives the working codes for the Category:Raster graphics operations/Category:Image processing, both C and Fortran sources, the code I've written and the code other contributors have written (currently all the Fortran codes are mine); so people who want to contribute (for C and Fortran) using already written functions don't need to copy-paste code from the wiki in order to obtain a working code... I will try to keep track of changes and update the archives, testing them also (I use that code myself when contributing in that category!)

Questions, if any, on the Talk page.

About me (short)

I am an italian nowadays unemployed man, studied physics (at the university) but never finished it (I will do it, some day); I am interested in computers and computer programming a lot; I like languages in a rather general way (not only computer languages): each time I see a new language I must get a tour in its basic; rarely I go beyond the first steps, nonetheless I had a rather long time experience with m68k assembly and C (this not means I am able to write good code:D).

I also can use other languages to do real tasks: PHP, Perl, bash... I would like to get more knowledge on C++, Java and some more; in particular recently I discovered functional programming paradigm and I am trying to understand it more clearly... learning Haskell.

I write in english in a rather libertarian (and likely italianish) way, so forgive me and my mistakes or linguistic oddities.

Do not trust too much my self-judgement about proficiency in the languages table. My biggest defect is that having time I can't help writing too much.

Other interests and details

My real name is Mauro Panigada (I am not an anesthetist and I have nothing to do with medicine, alas; homonyms exist!).

I have a personal (read: almost unuseful) site I created long time ago, it grew, shrank, moved... but basically it is always the same.

Since altogether with six friends we founded an association and bought a domain, my site nowadays is hosted there. We still keep (and we shall keep) the site on.

My site is here; I am trying to give it a better look, but for now it is almost frozen (except for few contents).

I am interested in ray-tracing (POV Ray ... I prefer to write codes rather than a visual approach like Blender, and indeed I would like to attend the POV Ray Contest IRTC, which is back on Smalltalk/Seaside, but the site still has bugs...!) and music composing (MIDI).

Since I knew TeX / LaTeX, I've forgot any word processing program. TeX brought me to the world of digital typesetting and, through Metafont, to the hard world of font creation. I own the METAFONT Book (requested as gift for a past birthday), just another language altogether with PostScript. I dream about drawing like Herman Zapf, but currently I've just created few stupid symbols.

After my first contact with german because of the KickPascal manual, I studied a little bit of japanese; then I discontinued it and studied icelandic... then I discontinued it and studied norwegian... then I discontinued it and... I like languages, but liking means no to have the ability to learn them all :(

I like writing and I hope to finish and publish a novel (I am writing it since I was twenty... I believe it's just another dream), and I want to be the designer of my book and I would like to typeset it using TeX (I bet that in italian novel publishing world it could be very hard...)

All my dreams about my maths and physics stuffs shipwrecked somewhere in the past, when strange things happened. I have often a lot of time (more or less), and I spend it on a computer, mainly reading web and programming and it is how I landed on this interesting wiki.
