Tadeusz Kurpiel

programming geek; accounting professional

In the beginning there was electronics... Tadeusz Kurpiel still shows signs of burns made with a soldering iron in the early '80s. Then it was the 1st useful program written in ZX Spectrum Basic, calculating the parameters of the Tchebyschew Filters for the school ham radio club. And the dos-resident (working in the background) program supporting the design of electronic circuits in the OrcadPCB environment. In the '90s Tadeusz started using the web before the present web even existed - in the days of gopher, telnet and ftp. Later, he worked with time and dates for many years... calculating the tax interest rates and other similar things. In his spare time he deals with genealogy, where the issue of the dates and various date formats and calendars is important. That's why the Temporal is the topic he wants to present.
