Software

Programming is something I do a lot for my research and something I simply like doing. Many of my private projects are very specific, but some might be useful to others. Here are a number of things I've worked on. Other things I've worked on such as a graphing tool may be of interest, however, I haven't had time yet to publish them.

Strigi: A fast and small desktop search program. It is used by KDE4 and is provided by all major Linux distributions.
WarpTree: A Qt4 widget for displaying hierarchical data sets.
Cubetest: Cubetest is a program that you can use to practice you skills at seeing perspective.
BengSaver: Bengsaver is a screensaver for KDE. It shows bouncing balls or bee swarms with collision detection.
Windows shares (SMB) crawler: The student network HomeWURk allows students to share information by connecting their home computers almost directly to glass fiber. This program allows users of this network to find what they want easily. I've written the program together with Jan van Haarst.
Winamp plugin: Download it and its source code. This plugin displays the track of the current song on the titlebar in Windows.
OpenOffice Basic Macro for Calc: This is not high tech programming, but may help as an example for other developers.
Java: Long ago, I wrote a spirograph applet using the java programming language. It's one of my smaller java projects, but the only one that was saved from an erased harddisk. Unfortunately lost was a cards program with a nice drag-'n-drop interface. Not that we need more of those, but still.
