Still crazy after all these years

[Vu Pham]

I am still working mostly on the Linux platform (Redhat for servers, and 
Fedora for desktops ). Recently I have a project where my app has to 
generate reports in MS-Word format instead of PDF, so now I have to 
learn how to use MS Word and the Office Open XML specification.
