Some of my other software projects

My Projects

Over the years I've begun many software projects, small and large, many of which are now defunct. On this page, I list some of my smaller projects.

Applications

Bandwidth: a benchmark for Linux to determine key bandwidths of a computer system including L1 and L2 caches; main memory; and framebuffer memory.
Wanderlust: my simple Windows/MFC/C++ based outline editing tool.
- Binary (provided AS-IS, use at your own risk).
- Source code.
My http server projects Scrinchy and webserver8k.
Lapis: my stack-based language developed for my previous web server called scrinchy.
Muvy: My nonlinear video editor.
C@: My experimental C-like compiler.

Libraries

httplib: C code to read a web page. Taken from my web crawler project.
List: an abstract data type in C.
FrugalWidgets 0.26
Frugal Windowing Environemnt (FWE): a simple multithreaded (using pthreads) framebuffer/userspace based windowing system server for Linux.

Good software that I did not write

Ted: a very decent WYSIWYG word processor for RTF files; requires about 8 megs of RAM to run.
Dillo: a web browser that requires 8 megs of RAM to run

Linux-related utilities

These help in installing Linux on older machines. I'm putting them here as a safeguard against the eventuality of their disappearing everywhere else.

Windows-related utilities

Likewise, I'm putting these here as a safeguard against the eventuality of their disappearing everywhere else.
