About DEV

This is  Solar's Development Home. Effectively a subdomain dedicated to all things related to programming and software engineering.

What's in here?

TEFKAPP

In April 2001, it became clear to me that my favourite computer OS / platform (Amiga) was going nowhere. The immediate future of operating systems would be divided between Windows and Linux, a dreary prospect.

Later that year I initiated a project somewhat presumptuously named "Project for a Perfect Operating System" (Pro-POS). It differed from many other  hobbyist OS development projects in its ambitious goals and, ultimately, its very limited progress when I pulled the plug on Pro-POS mid-2004.

Only a few documents, concepts and ideas remain from that project, which I preserved on my homepage under the moniker "TEFKAPP" - the effort formerly known as Pro-POS.

Now, almost six years later, I consider reviving some of these documents, adding some of the experience I gained during those years, and keeping them here for further reference in a more generic context.

Note: None of these documents were quite finished when Pro-POS called quits, and they do not necessarily represent what I would write on these subjects, today.

Misc. Source

There are many tiny scripts and mini-projects that have accumulated on my hard drive; I use the Subversion repository attached to this Trac to store them off-site in case my hard drive dies violently (and for the odd reference lookup - "how did I do that again?" - you know the kind).

Unless otherwise noted, all my sources are released under the  PDCLib License (i.e., Public Domain for all practical purposes except in name due to a braindead restriction in German copyright law).

A tool to help organizing a project with many sub-components in a Subversion repository. Click the title for the project page, or check out via SVN  here. Status: Concept Phase

Rants

Some things I've written so often, in various contexts, that I felt I should write them up once in a central place and merely provide a link when the subject comes up again.

This is the place.

Some useful links I want to keep.

Can I join?

There's nothing to be joined here. Consider this a static personal homepage that happens to run on a dynamic backend (so I can better edit it).
