"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:
       
 (HTM) 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.
       
 (HTM) 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.
       
 (HTM) 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:
 (BIN) djvu2x
 (BIN) djvuresize
       
 (HTM) Set
       Wrote a solitaire version of The Game of Set that can be played in 
       web browser.
       
 (HTM) 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.
       
 (HTM) 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:
 (BIN) pysf 20141122
       
 (HTM) Sfubar
       Public domain predecessor to pysf, written in C rather than Python.
       
 (HTM) 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.
       
 (HTM) ucs2any
       Font conversion utility.  Written in C to help remove Perl from the
       build process.
       
 (HTM) 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.
       
 (BIN) 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.
