    So, what is this blog all about?

    In short: My personal dumping ground for ideas, classes, links and everything else concerning programming, art and tech. Please pardon the dust, I’m still in the process of relaunching this site.

    I’m programming for a living and wasting most of my spare time on mobile applications and webdesign, so I tend to spend a couple of hours a day writing more or less useful lines of codes. Whenever I do so I keep thinking “Couldn’t I reuse this code later” (guess it automatically comes with being an OOP junkie) and more than once I caught myself wondering “Didn’t I f***ing solve a similar problem years ago?”.

    So, basically I just turned this site into my personal coding sketchbook that will also feature the occassional release info on downloadable applications.

    And who exactly IS this coder?

    In short: Ben, a 29-year-old application programmer and IT consultant addicted to creating things – and what better way to do that than using simple text to create complex websites and applications?

    Doris “Ben” Kub is living in Vienna, the capital of most beautiful Austria in Central Europe.

    Born in 1981, Ben grew up as part of the “Gameboy Generation”, addicted to electronic gadgets at the young age of 3. After going through more or less typical children dreams of the future (kindergarten teacher, inventor, artist and astronaut ;) ), she finally found fulfillment in becoming a web and application programmer.

    She’s spending most of her time in front of a computer screen, an easle or amidst her friends. In her opinion days are at least 24 hours too short, so she had to lay down her countless other hobbies in favour of programming to her heart’s content.

    She’s fluent in more scripting, markup and programming languages than would be good for herself, being kind of a Jack-of-all-Trades with a slight focus on SAP’s original language ABAP.

    And what about this Blogs title?

    In short: Yes, I’m really bad with names…

    Being bored of the old programmer = addicted to coffee cliché, this word creation is the result of a desperate brainstorming about how to express one’s distaste for coffee within a single word. It’s simply (modern day) Greek for coffee slapped together with the (ancient) Greek -phobic.
