About
I’m a game developer & designer who has also done a fair share of other software development, usually with a performance-critical angle.
I have a semi-idle Facebook account. Please add me as a friend only if you personally know me.
And here is my LinkedIn Profile page. Similarly, please add me as a contact only if you have been in touch with me regarding work-related things.
I also have a Twitter account, which should get notifications of my new blog posts automatically. At least.
And here is a nerdy collection of other stuff:

I am looking for the winning software of Assembly ‘96 (I believe it was 96). This peace of work has in my memory the exact same music as the song Bliss from Muse, which was released in 2001. If this turns out to be true, the music may have been stolen.
I am unable to play the old work on my winXP machine, so I cannot check it for myself. I’ll install an old win98 machine tonight.
Regards,
Bart.
Assembly’96 winner pc demo is Machines of Madness, viewable in Youtube here:

I guess you’re remembering some other production as that doesn’t sound like Bliss from Muse. :)
Hello,I am interested in developping mobile phone apps.Now,I encountered a problem about converting float-point to fixed-point.My app is a machine translation embeded in mobile phone.Its decoder involves much float-point operation.But the mobile phone lacks FPU,and I find your PPT about fixed-point.So I think you have some experience about this problem.I don’t know whether you can give your suggestion and some concrete solutions.Thank you.I am looking forward for you reply.
