G.C.Prasad's Home Page

Hi! Welcome to my Home Page.

Without wasting space on pictures of myself, let me jump into the real stuff. Feel free to pick up ideas from here and turn them into products, but keep them free (in the GNU sense)!

Here's my dream of a new GUI for Unix.

Freeware Unices like Linux deserve to be taken more seriously. The concept of AIX-style "logical disks" might help.

I'm also putting together a set of "marketing" ideas like slogans, logos and names for freeware.

Here's another idea I'd like to see take off, the Family PC.

Aren't you tired of living in your old shell :-) ? But seriously, I think it's time for the next quantum leap in command-line processing. Now that languages like Perl, Python and Java have made interpreters fashionable again, why not add more programming power to that mother of all interpreters, -- the shell? Take a look at what a Python Shell might look like.

My favourite problem, the Towers of Hanoi problem. It's my favourite because the solution is so elegant.

Here are some links to other sites of interest to me. Hope you like them, too.

The Linux Documentation Project

The GNU Home Page

The Python language

The Apache webserver

Java

The PostgreSQL object-relational database

The Perl scripting language

Mail me at gcp@emirates.net.ae or at g.c.prasad@usa.net . I used to have a Hotmail account, but gave it up after it was taken over by the Evil Empire :-(.
