Sergey, the people's hero

<>

My new job's going quite well. There's a hell of a lot of work to do between now and September - another reason for my not blogging much recently.

I focus entirely on handheld computing which means that everyday i'm looking (albeit briefly) at dozens of pieces of shareware, freeware and demos for Palm PDAs, Pocket PCs and mobile phones.

The most popular applications are generally personal organisers and calendars, though games are pretty popular too. This is where Sergey comes in. Sergey Volchenkov writes games for Palm handheld computers. He distributes them for free. And they're better than any other games being developed on the platform. Now, if he gets too much publicity, maybe he'll be tempted to start profiting off his hard work… but I doubt it.

I just think that developers like Sergey, who put a lot of time into creating enjoyable applications for people and keep their homepage with the same hosting for more than one month, allowing leeches like me to come and link to him, deserve a bit more praise. I don't love him. But some people do.
