The Attic

Overview

The attic features projects “put aside”, i.e. not maintained anymore.

ThunderSync

In 2010 I needed a vCard-to-Thunderbird interface. Thus I wrote an add-on to Thunderbird, enabling me to sync my Nokia dumpphone contacts with my desktop Thunderbird instance.

More info coming soon. For now, please visit my GitHub repository

FotoPreProcessor

In the 2010s I organised my DSLR camera pictures with my own software. FotoPreProcessor allowed me to adjust keywords, copyright info, location and timestamps. Since my cameras work with UTC one feature was to modify the timestamps based on the locations and its timezone.

More info coming soon. For now, please visit my GitHub repository

OSImageMap

At some point I needed to create my own map pictures. Thus I wrote a program stitching OpenStreetMap tiles together.

More info coming soon. For now, please visit my GitHub repository

Fireman Sam Bed

My oldest sun needed a new bed. An opportunity for me to create a bed modeled after Jupiter, fireman Sam’s fire truck.

Including lights and sound (based on an Atmega 328p. More info coming soon.

Brick Lighting

My oldest sun uttered interest in lights for his interlocking plastic bricks. Thus I ordered LEDs, resistors, cables, connectors, a 555, and a decode counter.

More info coming soon.

The Workbench

One of my first woodworking projects: A wooden workbench.

More info coming soon.

Operation: Flashpoint

At the beginning of the millennium I was playing OPF and of course was contributing maps and vehicles.

More info coming soon.

Pascal Programs from the 90s

Warning, nostalgia incoming! My first complex programs more than two decades old (starfield demo, 8 bit processor simulator, and more).

More info coming soon.
