Hi There!

This is my wiki, where I dump and organise all my ideas.

- Michael van der Gulik (mikevdg at gulik.co.nz).

Unnamed Grand Project

This is my current project. In a single sentence, it's a distributed object architecture with a custom client that is meant to replace the World Wide Web. It is unnamed because I haven't thought of a good name for it, it doesn't work well enough to deserve a name, and I haven't registered any domain names for it.

Artificial Intelligence

When I've finished the Unnamed Grand Project, world domination using AI will be my next project.

Lojban programming language

I want to chat with my computer.

Block-based virtual machine

Smalltalk VM design idea that scales to terabyte images (or more?), very concurrent GC, leaves unused bits of the image on the disk. A VM like this would make it practical to store stuff in the image rather than an OODB. I won't be thinking about making this until I need it.

Hardware toys

Who needs more than 200MHz?

Parallel processing

 The performance envelope has moved from making a single CPU go faster to having multiple cores or multiple CPUs.

Working in a Cooperative

This probably exists, but I'm interested in a business structure where employees are responsible for their own fortunes.

Music

The Thummer is a MIDI controller with a particularly interesting key layout. Make it work under Linux using your QWERTY keyboard.

http://home.stny.rr.com/peverett/gadget.html made himself one, as did http://musicscienceguy.vox.com/.

The Thummer uses a key layout also known as the "Hayden system" or the "Wicki system". http://www.concertina.com/hayden-duet/

This keyboard layout has been patented repeatedly! http://www.concertina.com/gaskins/wicki/index.htm.
