Unmaintained and almost useless C, C++ & Java stuff I wrote
- fft.cc (1kb)
A stand-alone implementation of the Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT).
I thought this might be useful to someone since most other FFT implementations need additional libraries. - toad-callback-history.tar.gz (4kB)
The first steps during October 1996 towards TOADs callback implementation. It's the code were I've tried MFC alike message maps and quickly dropped the idea. - moonbase.tar.gz (94kB)
A C++ program to read & write dBaseTM files from 1993/1995. There's no way to search a database but it's possible to lock and
unlock records. Don't expect much. It's the first real program I wrote with C++, so it's really a mess.
Development started with BorlandTM C++ 3.1 under DOS and was finished with GCC 2.5.8 under Linux 1.1.59 (Slackware 2.1.0). It's also the first program I wrote with GNU/Linux. - 3dworld.tar.gz (20kB)
A simple and slow z-Buffer implementation. Development started with BorlandTM C++ 4.0 (?) under Win32s and was finished under GNU/Linux. It's the 2nd program I wrote with GNU/Linux and I've never touched M$ Windows for something serious afterwards. - FormLayout.zip (4kB)
TOADs Form layout manager for Java. - qmail-remote-1.03+smtp-auth.diff.gz (2kB)
A patch to add SMTP AUTH to qmail-remote. Only the LOGIN method is
supported now but this is currently enough for my ISP.
Still here?

Then the marketing department spent a lot of money for a new cooperate identity
and we went bankrupt. Meanwhile the company transformed into the

That's were I make a living now, helping to create our new product, the mGuard.

Movie Recommendations

Comedy
- Himitsu no hanazono
- Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
- Get Shorty
Gangster story with loveable characters.

As funny as "Get Shorty", by the director and with part of the cast of "Get Shorty" this is the real sequel to "Get Shorty", while the the official successor "Be cool" is just a disappointment.
Director: Barry Sonnenfeld, Cast: Tim Allen, Rene Russo, et al., Original story by: Dave Barry, Wikipedia
Action
- Jumper
War
- Come and See (Idi i smotri)
The best movie I have yet seen about WW2.

Bands
the fields of the nephilim (fotn)
-
My favourite band. Okay, they are not in their original lineup anymore. Just lead singer Carl McCoy remained, but he is still carrying the torch. Thanks Carl! And one still hopes for a reunion as the quality of the original lineup is still unmet. All FOTN albums until “The Nephilim” is something I never get tired listening too.
- Alexander (Nod) Wrights band, the Ex-Drummer of FOTN along with his brother Paul Wright, Ex-Guitarist of FOTN. The music is more for attentive listening than dancing and the second album “The Many Forms” is something never get tired listing to.
(Do not confuse them with an italian heavy metall band of the same name.)
-
Simon Ripping was the Drummer of Carl McCoy's Nefilim album, was part of Sensorium along with Guitarist Peter (Bob) White and Tony Pettitt, Ex-Guitarist of FOTN, finally joined them at NFD.
- These guys just rock.
twice a man
tenebre
blutengel
alien sex fiend
- Mr. and Mrs. Fiend.
- Everything after their “Disintegration” album is depressing non-depressing.
- If only Andrew Eldritch would not insist to create only high quality music, and therefore not creating anything at all during the last years. But then, there is still James Ray. ;)
- Just visit his site. There are free MP3s for download, which explains more than words.
- One album, then gone. But, hey, wait! There is a second one which they distribute on their own.
