Jomic is a viewer for comic books stored in CBZ, CBR, and PDF files. Features include a two page mode, caching and support for several image formats (PNG, JFIF/JPEG, TIFF, and GIF). It is Open Source software distributed under the GNU GPL.

Quivi is an image viewer (specialized for comic/manga reading) which supports many file formats and compressed (zip, rar) files. It is aimed for fast & easy file browsing with keyboard or mouse.

Most of the comics that you can read in a newspaper are also freely available online. Mirth is a program that lets you view those comics, without waiting for each web page to load or for the various ... [More] images and advertisements that are usually on those web pages: when you run Mirth, each comic image for the day is loaded while you are reading the previous comic, so if you read them in order there's no load delay. After all, if you're going to waste time reading comics, you may as well waste time efficiently. More details are available on the main Mirth web site. [Less]

This project contains assorted programs that I have written for everyday tasks. These programs are written in C++ and use the SDL graphics library, which means that they will run, and run fast, on ... [More] nearly any operating system. Currently available as a download from this site is: Hexie: A hex editor (really, just a hex viewer) designed for reading through a file, understanding its format, and locating data in it. Available only as source code is: Gringotts: A command-line program for managing personal finances. Currently, you need to create a "~/.finances" file by hand to use it. Soon, I'll either add functions to Gringotts itself to create new accounts, or upload instructions on how to edit the file. HyperList: A program for managing a set of hierarchical to-do lists. hsiloP: A reverse polish notation calculator supporting a wide range of mathematical functions. Mirth: A program for reading daily comics that are available online, without the annoying advertisements you would have to wade through in an ordinary web browser. kwirki: A personal wiki that runs in the terminal. ending: A program for changing line endings in a file from one format to another. weatherscrape: A command line program (plus related shell scripts) for viewing the daily or weekly weather forecast. notetaker: Programs (GUI and CLI) for writing short notes to yourself, including appending entries to a .reminders file for use by remind. Note: I've switched from the Unix "make" utility to Scons for building the source code. If you're not using XCode (Mac OS X) or Visual Studio (Windows), you'll need a copy of Scons. In the works, and hopefully appearing up here eventually, is: WriteAway: A distraction-free writing program, featuring margin notes and a full-screen interface. And because it needs a home somewhere on the web, I may also upload: Strange: A program that makes high-quality renderings of random Clifford attractors, and could be adapted to draw other fractals and chaotic attractors, as well.
