It would be extremely nice if whoever administers advogato can assist me in removing my old accout, "vlg". Please, drop me a note and let me know how it can be done. My e-mail: vlg@users.sourceforge.net. Thanks.

Finally, after almost a year of heavy development my new program, Granule, has reached comfortable stability. Today's release, 1.1.3, has implemented all of the features I originally planned to have.

The idea to write a flashcard program of some sort came to me when my own collection of flashcards had grown to the point that I had to throw some of them away. One day I thought - there is no way I can systematically go through all of them and wouldn't it be nice to have them all in a program of some sort.

I started searching for a Linux version - but whatever I found either required Java or KDE or has not all features I wanted. One day, browsing the web I came across VTrain - a freeware program for Windows. Reading through its documentation, I realized that it was functionally what I wanted (minus the ugly Windoz interface). I made some sketchy design notes on a napkin and hid it in a folder.

January 1st 2004 came with insane amount of snow here in Maryland and nothing else to do, I got my napkin out and laid out the scheleton for the project along with the main window. The rest is the history.

Weh, I lost my 'vlg' account password and could not get in touch with advogato's maintainer. That's odd! Here it goes - my mini me - vlg2.
