8k modem at the CeBit Home in Hannover,
Germany. A few months later, he learned HTML and started his first Web project,
a German game patch archive called Rabus' Update Site, which he renamed to
bugfixes.info, when the .info domains became available. In the meantime, he
switched from static HTML to PHP in order to be able to manage the growing
archive more efficiently. He kept on learning PHP when trying to extend the portal.
Because the flatfile-based database system became too slow when searching the
still growing archive, he also switched to MySQL in 2001. This is when he got in
touch with phpMyAdmin and the project. He started with revising its language
files because they were a bit outdated and inconsistent. He had fun doing so, and
continued with grabbing some bug reports and submitting patches for them. Lo??c
Chapeaux, one of the two co-maintainers at that time, added him to the developers
list and gave him a CVS account in March 2002, so he could merge his patches by
himself. Since then, he has mainly worked on the compatibility with MySQL 4.0,
reworked the server administration area, developed a simple abstraction layer in
order to support MySQLi, and continued with compatibility fixing??”this time for
MySQL 4.1 and 5.0. Unfortunately, his studies and phpMyAdmin became too time
consuming, and he had to stop working on bugfixes.
