Software

Most of the software I write is internal for work, but in the past I’ve made some things that were fit for public consumption.  Some of them are very, very old:

  • Blocks from Hell – DOS-based video game circa 1991.  I based the gameplay on the best-fit of features among various Tetris variants, and in retrospect turns out to (quite coincidentally) to be very close to the game mechanics of the original, non-graphical version.  On versions of Windows Vista and above, you’ll need to run it under DosBox.  Block from Hell download
  • GuardPC – Very old low-level DOS-based security software used at UT.  It basically made the read-only bit on filesystems mean something; when enabled, files with the bit set could not be deleted, renamed, altered, or have the bit unset.  It worked well in the pre-Windows 95 era, but boy did Win95 freak out when it wasn’t allowed to write to its own registry database.  I include it only for historical curiosity.  I had a newer, Win95-compatible version developed at one point, but a hard drive crash took it out.  GuardPC Download
  • Stickynotes – Windows utility circa 2003.  This is a digital replacement for the little yellow stickynotes on the side of your monitor.  It was designed to be as unobtrusive as possible.  Written in Borland Delphi.  Download Stickynotes Installer
