PixiePlus Users Guide: Section 4.1
My name is Daniel M. Duley. I'm a 26 yr/old application developer and system admin living in Indiana, USA. My professional career started doing system administration on Digital Unix (now Tru64) and HP-UX clusters running Oracle. Eventually I shifted to Linux development because I enjoyed doing application development using KDE/Qt. After a couple Linux stints, I now do Windows development as well (need to pay the rent ;-).
I enjoy reading trash fiction like Stephen King, Thomas Ligotti, Joe R. Lansdale, and of course HP Lovecraft (Cthulhu Fhtagn Ia, Ia! :). I also hang out at several goth clubs and have been involved in some performance art shows and a model for several fetish clothing fashion shows in Chicago, IL USA.
I'm best known for my work on KDE, so here is a list of my contributions:
Pixie image management system. The application whose documentation your reading now.
Co-author of Kicker (The KDE Panel). Along with Matthias Ettrich, I was one of the original authors of the KDE panel. Matthias Ettrich committed a framework for a panel which provided a movable bar with a taskbar but no buttons. I wrote the original code for all the buttons, panel applets, application (K) menu, recent document menu, QuickBrowser, KasBar, and rewrote the clock applet to use LCD numbers. Currently maintained by Matthias Elter.
Designed of several widget styles, including the default, and the KDE theme engine. I wrote the default widget style, which controls how widgets look in KDE2/3. I also wrote the KDE theme engine and newer styles such as Liquid.
KDE Window Manager work. I designed the default style for the window manager, which controls how it looks and feels, as well as the Laptop, B2, System, ModSystem, and KStep styles.
KDE libraries and core work. I have my stuff all over the KDE libraries ;-) I wrote the plugin architecture for widget and window manager styles, KDrawUtil, KPopupMenu, KPanelMenu, and KDualColorButton, as well as contributed and maintained several classes such as KPixmapEffect.
I also did some earlier work like a KDE1 port of Siag, the "Scheme in a Grid" spreadsheet, which is no longer maintained by anyone.
