Virgo's Naive Homepage
Slovenská verzia stránkyWelcome! I'm Richard Richter, Java developer, father, amateur song writer/singer, gamer and probably more. More facts are at the bottom of this page.
I started with this page (on a different URL) in 1997 and it was always my personal Homepage for Slovak visitors in the first place. During all those years I created more specialized profiles on different sites/services – these are mostly in English (see links lower). I decided to add this English page recently, just to give you some directions in case you are for whatever reason interested. :-)
Various Internet sites where you can find me:
- Virgo's Naive Stories – my personal blog (some Java, some creations)
- My LinkedIn profile – professional profile, you need LinkedIn account to see it
- Java Simon Monitoring API – simple open-source API in Jave for application monitoring
- My SoundCloud – some music recordings, mostly in Slovak language
Dead projects from the past:
- My UT2004 level design portfolio
- Fanklan 47 – Slovak site about one UT2004 fun clan, once probably the most popular Slovak UT2004 site
- Unreal Tournament 3 Level Design – wiki about UT3 level design (stopped after I got quite disappointed by UT3)
