publications

Here is (part of) my contribution to the 'public domain'. It is a mix of software and articles. Perhaps it contains something of your interest?

Sudoku Solver: an application to solve Sudoku puzzles.
Tour-Pool-Tool: a tool for keeping track of scores in a Tour-de-France pool. click here for more information and to download the tool.
Triplex in Java!: I am currently making a Java version of Triplex. You can download version 0.1 to see in which direction my development is going. Click here to download Triplex 0.1.
Triplex: a Tetris-clone for the MSX computer. You can play alone, but if you create a loop of MSX computers, using Philips Music Modules and MIDI cables, you can play with 2 to 16 players!
I have written this program during a one-week school holiday in 1993. Later I spent some extra time together with Ruud van Gestel to improve the game and the music.
I thought I lost all working copies of this game, but recently I discovered I still had some floppies containing the game!
Here is the disk image which you can copy to a floppy, or run it directly in an MSX emulator, such as openMSX.

TV guide tool: a small tool I have written to generate a TV guide in HTML containing all programs sorted on start time.
dirsynch tool: Dirsynch is a tool for synchronizing directory trees on both computer's file systems as on FTP servers. This tool is used to upload this website to FTP servers. click here for more information and to download the tool.
listen to radio stations using Linux: Here is a tip for people interested to listen to the regional radio station Omroep Brabant via Internet. Because the website of Omroep Brabant only works fine using Microsoft Internet Explorer, it is not easy to listen to this radio station using Linux. However, if MPlayer is installed, you can listen to Omroep Brabant using the following command:
mplayer mms://213.75.12.16/omroepbrabant_64k
To listen to Radio8FM, use the following command:
mplayer http://breedband2.radio8fm.nl:8070/
To listen to Arrow, use the following command:
mplayer mms://arrowstream.atinet.nl/arrowrock
music: Since my piano lessons in the early 1990's, I have tried to compose my own music. I actually made the effort to make some of my songs available as mp3 files. Click here to check out my songs.
Solving the Incompatibility Problem: a dissertation that shows that it is better to standardise file formats instead of applications.
Pruning of the Search Tree: a report describing the contents of the presentation given by Prof. Dr. E.W. Dijkstra in honour of the eighteenth Dies Natalis of Gewis, on July 2000. Gewis is the Eindhoven Univeristy community of mathematics and computer science students. I wrote this report to conclude the course 'Technical Writing and Editing English'.
A Streaming Application for EPOC: I do not have the right to publish this report on the web. Further, I wrote it together with my former colleague Alexandr Novikov. Therefore, I will only mention its ISBN information:
