Some people peak in the morning, but my internal clock dictates that the best results come after 10 pm. What follows here are the results of those night-shifts.
Starting in the eighties with a BBC micro, I switched in 1992 to a NeXTstation color and nowadays I'm a Linux CentOS person. Garp, a program originating on the BBC, is an example of how computers can support other hobbies, like in this case cartography.
Over the years I worked a lot on the PNG, the graphics format, which is lossless, very compact and supports alpha and gamma. Pnmtopng and pamtopng, written by Alex Lehmann and me, converts png-images to and from the versatile PbmPlus formats. The most popular part of my site is PngSuite, a set of test-images for png developers.
One of the more recent skunkwork software development projects I've done is a rack layout tool for Cisco UCS and other network and storage gear. You can find it at ucs4.us/ucs/layout. |
