"I do not think there is any thrill that can go through the | |
human heart like that felt by the inventor as [one] sees some | |
creation of the brain unfolding to success ... Such emotions | |
make [one] forget food, sleep, friends, love, everything." | |
Quoted by Cleveland Moffitt, | |
A Talk With Tesla', | |
Atlanta Constitution (7 Jun 1896) | |
Examples of code i wrote for fun in reverse chronological order: | |
Rogue Class Linux | |
Rogue Class is a toy Linux distribution for playing games and readi | |
books. Rogue Class Linux has a streamlined installer and it support | |
joystick controls in most of the programs. I decommissioned the we | |
site but some of the code is still visible on BitBucket. | |
Timelord | |
Timelord is a minimal time tracking program I wrote for Jennie in | |
2012. It requires a 64-bit version of Windows and appears as a tar | |
icon in the system tray. | |
Djvu2x | |
DJVU2X is an application to view DJVU files on the GP2X, which is a | |
small computer that runs Linux on two AA batteries. See also: | |
djvu2x | |
djvuresize | |
Set | |
Wrote a solitaire version of The Game of Set that can be played in | |
web browser. | |
pentcl | |
Ported the Perl PostScript::Simple module to JavaScript, Lua, PHP, | |
TCL as an exercise. I removed file operations from the PostScript | |
class to make it more portable. | |
Pysf | |
Public domain utility that will convert a soundfont file to an XML | |
configuration file and a collection of .wav files. It also converts | |
the other direction, making it a good low level soundfont editor. | |
This can be used to transmit a change to a soundfont file without | |
transmitting the entire soundfont. My goal was to be able to creat | |
computer instruments for my MIDI keyboard. See also: | |
pysf 20141122 | |
Sfubar | |
Public domain predecessor to pysf, written in C rather than Python. | |
Pat2raw | |
Public domain utility to convert GUS patches to raw audio files. | |
maptoy | |
This is a TCL/TK cartography app i wrote. I fit the application | |
and a complete set of topographic maps for Oregon on a 1:100000 sca | |
onto a DVD. The application runs on Linux, Macintosh, and Windows. | |
The maps are stored as a couple thousand image files, and maptoy | |
presents these as a single continuous map. It uses HTML and CSS pri | |
media to paginate the output and print a selected area in sections | |
a normal color printer. Not available for download due to the size, | |
but feel free to contact me for a copy of the DVD. My goal was to | |
print my own hiking maps. | |
ucs2any | |
Font conversion utility. Written in C to help remove Perl from the | |
build process. | |
atactl | |
Someone else wrote atactl, but i added support for the SMART featur | |
on IDE hard drives. As you can see from the CVS log, the NetBSD fo | |
had to fix several bugs in my code. My goal was to configure a mor | |
reliable mail server. | |
BOAFKJV | |
In the late 90's i wrote a minimal C library and modified the bzip2 | |
library to be able to seek within the compressed file. I included | |
floppy format utility and a small program to navigate chapters and | |
search the King James Version of the Bible. The result was Bible O | |
Floppy, and it could copy itself to another floppy. | |
bomberman | |
In the mid 90's i used a SuperNES emulator to take screen shots and | |
rip the graphics from Bomberman. I forward-ported the MS-DOS Mikmo | |
code, because at the time it was dropped from the Mikmod sources. | |
also integrated Mikmod with the Allegro library and DJGPP. The res | |
was a multi-player bomberman clone that looked and sounded nice. M | |
goal was to get some experience with GCC and game programming, beca | |
a friend invited me to help develop a Playstation game project he w | |
involved in. I do not distribute it in case it doesn't fall under | |
fair use. | |
