About

UPDATE: “about” in Greek (click here).

I am a software developer, translator, electronic music composer, A.I. researcher and Logician; in previous years I’ve also been an artist (in painting and sculpture), a part-time journalist and other things. You could also think of me as a writer (aren’t we all, these days? -as bloggers, for example).

I live close to the sea, in the outskirts of Athens and I swim in the sea regularly during the entire winter season (for the last 11 years or so). I’ve also spent more than 12 happy years in the UK, and speak English (with an English accent) almost as good as Greek. I am interested in poetry (sometimes writing some), healthy living and ecology.

My current software work is about the Semantic Web, Constraints (CLP) and Natural Language Programming (NLP) using PROLOG -and Assembly Language for speed.

My music activities include Trance remixes of the great Greek composer Mikis Theodorakis (who has personally allowed, authorised and encouraged this work).

My internet - knickname “omadeon” has been inspired by the Greek word “omada” (meaning “team“) and has been chosen to signify the fact I am a team-worker, as well as the creator of a Logic system of Multiple Truth Values (Multiple Form Logic). I am single (divorced without children) and like to travel (when I’m not working or… swimming). In blogging I’m only a novice.

This blog contains material in both languages (English and Greek) so… if you can’t understand parts of it, don’t give up looking for the parts written in your favourite language.

POLITICS:

I’m a member of the Greens and Ecologists’ Party of Greece (since March 2007), but in recent months I have become very skeptical about it (and about party-political people, or… party-political-animals, generally)! :)

The AVATAR (icon) of this blog:

My “avatar” is a tiny detail of the blog’s banner (the corner on the right-hand side): - A small part of an oil-painting called “The Astral Visitor”, digitally modified to emanate an aura of White Light, with an additional source of White Light (or Energy) located in the region of the heart (the “Emotional Chakra”). Music symbols have also been added, on the bottom of each side:
