SORT DEMO! It's an (imperfect) wxWidgets application that I adapted from an old MFC (windows) app I wrote that demonstrated various sort methods. It should still compile ok for windows, though. The latest code features a multi-thread quicksort algorithm (well, simulated) that demonstrates how you can optimize a quicksort for a multi-core machine.

NOTE: please do not abuse this by wget'ing the entire directory or
re-distributing stuff on other web pages (without asking first
- I'll probably say 'yes' for any reasonable request), in particular
re-distributing on one of those mega-download sites. Thanks in advance.

'Mondo', a tribute to a friend of mine from High School named
Armando who wrote a campy/folky song that a bunch of us used to play, mostly
because that's what Danny wanted to do and the rest of us went along with it.
Well, this song was in serious need of jazzing up, and so I wrote something
that sort of reminds you of the original, then goes off in its own direction.

Current 'work in progress', something I wrote in the 80's then
modified a bit so as not to plagiarize. Features 'Geddy Lee' style bassline
and lots of guitar and keyboards and chorus - oh my!

A somewhat recent 'in progress as usual' work is a JPop-style, currently a 'proof of concept'
version, but I think it could stand alone as-is.

Here's an anti-Ritalin 'Pink Floydish' work I did a few years ago: WhyDoYouDrugTheChildren.mp3

(RITALIN: Today's guarantee that tomorrow we will have plenty of garbage men,
hamburger flippers, and ditch diggers, if they can stay out of prison).
Here's a newer pic of the same project, complete with prototype circuit board and an 'integration board' above it with the microcontroller and an LCD display, and some test leads wired in so that the board can identify a particular component. Still lots of work to do to this guy before it's ready for prime time, calibration being the most difficult part. The analysis board is covered up, but rest assured it's what was being prototyped on the breadboard above.
More fun below, a second project involving a microcontroller, a bunch of power transistors, a bunch of capacitors, a bunch of wires, and a bunch of other associated components. Drilling holes in the sheet metal case is probably the hardest part, but a Dremel tool, cutting oil, and lots of filing seem to be getting the job done 'on the cheap'. Investing in milling equipment and large scale drilling devices isn't in my budget, unfortunately.
This is one of those animated GIF thingies. I replaced the
'cheesy' one with something different. So, look into my eyes -
you're getting sleepy... sleepy... sleeeeepeeeeey....
For those who care, I used a microsoft application called
"Microsoft GIF Animator" to create it from a few VERY
simple bitmap files. This program is on the MSDN Level II CD #9,
entitled "other SDK's". I guess a GIF animator is an
'SDK'....
Unfortunately Microsoft isn't making this available any more,
but you can download a copy

This is an 'anaglyph' photo (anagraphic 3D) that I created using
a 3D photo program I'm working on (will be open source, and ported to
linux and BSD when I'm done with it). By using a digital camera on a
tripod, and moving the camera to one side to take a second photo, then
some regular photo editing software, and finally my 3D photo app (to merge the
red + cyan right/left images properly), I was able to create the following
photo from some left/right images I took about a year ago.
Use red/cyan 3D glasses to get the proper effect.
This next photo is based on my first attempt at 3D. After cleaning it up with
photo editing software and re-doing the 3D with the app I'm working on,
I was able to get a pretty good rendering, except that the tint is a little
on the 'brown' side (due to the photos I used). The 3D 'rock formation'
and the fireplace mantle are pretty good for 3D, though.
This is a more recent attempt at the first 3D photo. Note that it has better
perspective as well as more equipment on the rack. The problem with too much
separation, though, is that the edges of the screen become less well defined.
These next 2 photos are my most recent 3D attempts. First, a photo of the bottom
of Hoover Dam. Since the left and right photos were taken a few seconds apart the
water isn't exactly right, but everything else looks correct. Also, I had to rotate
one of the photos to get them to line up properly, but GIMP does a good job of that
kind of thing.
This next photo is of the inside of one of the Hoover Dam generator rooms (the Nevada
side). The 2 photos were imperfect, and taken several seconds apart, but I think the
overall 3D effect can still be well demonstrated here.

I bow down to your awesomeness. You truly are a
Knight of the Round Table, ready to defend
yourself against the Knights of Ni, use the
Holy Grenade of Antioch, and RUN
AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!! from the horrible monster

barber who truly desires to be a singing
lumberjack. Or better yet, you are Brian,
fighting off the misguided crowds and wondering
what on earth you did wrong to wind up singing
"Always Look on the Bright Side of
Life" while hanging on the cross. Well
whoever you choose all I have to say is Go
you!!!

Life's not fair! It's never been fair, but while
adults might just accept that, I know

change, just as soon as I become an adult and
get some power of my own.
