Software
I am not currently working on any software project. In the past I have been involved in several open source software projects, some of which are worth mentioning.
TeXmacs
TeXmacs is a scientific text editor. I helped implementing the converter to XML formats. I also built a prototype of a literate programming system for TeXmacs, which is still available here.
Heretix
Heretix was a source based GNU/Linux distribution, whose package manager was implemented as a Ruby script. I helped writing packages, maintaining the website and integrating a documentation system into the package manager itself. Heretix has been discontinued.
Fiction
Now and then I have been writing fiction.
Eine inszenierte Revolte (2007)
17 Gen r (2000)
"17 Gen r" is a fragment of a novel. I brought this project pretty far (beyond 100.000 words), but in the end I did not finish it.
Ein Jahr (1999)
The short story "Ein Jahr" was published in an anthology in 1999.
