No true programmer works at 9 a.m. If he does, it means that he was awake the whole night.

Welcome to a website dedicated to my portfolio of freeware work.
See my most essential projects in the menu above.
To display a few orientation notes regarding navigation on this web, please click Show orientation.

See a menu above (no it's not an ad.) at the bottom of the page for the most interesting software and essentialy defining projects. Each category can be expanded to see more than the four featured pages. The search field, at the top right corner, can be used to look for a particular project.
If you find the design cluttered, then know that all white text is a link to another page, except when it is a heading. All icons and navigation graphics are links too. In listings even the headings are often active links, leading to a page dedicated to that particular theme. Text links get underlined when the mouse cursor is over, and links decorated with arrow icon lead off of this website.

Knee deep in the...

Seriously considering spending a few weekends to build B-Cup 7; need a little more motivation though. I have finally started the development of my proof-of-concept C++ IDE, the Emphasize, after more than two years of collecting ideas; the focus is on the code itself. I have quickly finished an implementation of DIN 43863-4, so called IP-Telemetrie protokol. It is one German specialty; nothing technically nor conceptually interesting. Finishing reading a great book Code Craft (Pete Goodliffe).
