inventions
I like to invent stuff. Once in a rare while I invent something that's useful enough to share.
I'm a day-dreamer, and ideas come to me constantly. Some are big, some are small, most are crap. I'm currently working on one of my biggest-ever ideas full time, but that's another story. Here are some of the small ideas that I've actually used.
camping lamp
One of my favourite inventions—a camping lamp that has no weight, but which makes a nice soft glow.
wallet card
The wallet-card. One of my inventions that everyone else invented, too.
the autoGoogler
I accidentally invented a way of getting in touch with old friends: mention them on your website and wait for them to Google themselves!
terrain evolution simulator
In my final year of University, I wrote a routine that models the evolution of a terrain due to water erosion. Here's the code. I'm so old that this was written for DOS!
civilization add-ons
Here's where I got really over the top. I made my own rules for the game, modify its behaviour and adding a number of new resources. Hey, the designers forgot salt and copper!
