Open-Source Coding Projects

I don’t use AI for code generation. Consider all coding projects artisanal.

• Blockmap Image Renderer
  An image renderer for images encoded on the Ethereum blockchain, focused on the Murall project. Currently being ported from Javascript to WebAssembly.
• Payment Manager
  A GUI payment manager written primarily in C. Uses GTK3, custom CSS, CSV persistence, and floating-point-safe currency arithmetic.
• Analyze EXE
  A command-line tool to output MS-DOS file info, written in C. Uses pointer-to-void arrays for generic type erasure to iterate over mixed signed and unsigned struct members, sidestepping implementation-defined signed integer representation rules prior to C23.
• Ubbi Dubbi
  An English to Ubbi Dubbi translator written in C. Ubbi Dubbi is a silly language from the 1970s kids show Zoom. An exercise in secure C programming and, potentially, highly accurate algorithmic syllable detection without LLM weights.
• X11 Software
  Contributor to old open-source X11 projects like XInvaders3D, helping them run smoothly on modern devices.
• Vector Fork
  A fork of Wikipedia’s Vector skin with easier right-margin support and an inline-block main structure for faster rendering.

Encyc.org Articles

These are a few of my Encyc.org articles. Encyc.org is a general encyclopedia that is more friendly and laid back than Wikipedia.

• GRASP
  Programming explanation of a very old animation file format.
• Wikiverse
  A history of wikis and associated slang.
• Manyland
  A eulogy for the best 2D metaverse ever.
• Tilemap Town
  An introduction to a new one.
• Online Bulletin Board
  A technical history of bulletin board software.

Other projects timeline

Jazz Bands - (2005-2008)

Before 2006 I was taught music for a few years by Al Williams. If you like jazz fusion, you might recognize him as Alfie Williams from Stanley Clarke’s late-1970s bands.

During 2005-2006 I played in a big band that toured Peru and the Caribbean as an alto saxophonist.

During 2007-2008 I led Trinity Jazz Band in Falls Church Virginia. We played songs by Charlie Parker, Eric Kloss, and Herbie Hancock, among others. It was a 5-person band with trumpet, drums, synthesizer, bass, and alto saxophone. I played synthesizer and alto saxophone.

Other Wiki contributions - (2018-now)

I have authored hundreds of wiki articles from 2018 to now including but not limited to articles that span: English Wikipedia, Encyc.org, LostMediaWiki, and PolCompBallWiki. I have also been involved in the founding, hosting, and management of various wikis, but no longer host or manage anything like a wiki that is outside of this specific website. I will still occasionally contribute to other wikis, but increasingly prefer to write for this domain.

PublicInformant.com - (2019-2020)

During 2019-2020 I managed a news website called PublicInformant.com

Sheet music - (2026-now)

I’ve been dabbling in music composition since this year. I’m still a beginner and I find it personal, so will probably not ever link it on this site. I honestly don’t get why people share compositions so much, it feels to me like giving away part of yourself. And I’m not opposed to altruism, but it’s too intimate to share that much feeling, for myself at least.

To see other people’s projects I recommend, try checking out the second half of my links page. There’s some cool stuff there!
