Not sure if blog is a right word though. You know like sometimes we maintain a library of frequently used code snippets, templates, tools, useful links, ideas to research someday, etc. Starting with a single text file it grows into a massive "ARCHIVE" folder. So, yes that is what it is - a vault of my code snippets, ideas, and tools. I finally made that folder my online playground and started sharing some of these. Really hope it will be of some use to anyone.

Tools - several converters I use almost every day and will be happy if you guys find it useful. Could bind variables into SQL statement or convert a PropertySet from the logs or HTTP responses into readable XML, etc. Check out for help() and example() commands over there.

Blog - some ideas and code snippets, I think worth sharing and I had free time to describe a little. Actually, I'll be describing a very little and just let the code samples talk for me. I'm always happy to answer questions, get feedback or hear your thoughts.

Most of my code snippets are also available on GitHub and free to use as is or to fork.

In case you wonder, "Xapuk" is a transliteration from my russian nickname Харик, pronounced like [Harik].

Please, feel free to contact me. I'm always open to challenges.
