Gid homepage



(this is not me)

This is my continually-tweaked homepage. Thanks for stopping by.

I collect images that I find on the web and deposit them into a directory. (Samples below.)

Sample: here's a picture of some guys who were once claimed to be cooler than you are (according to Onion). Did you see this movie? (It's The Usual Suspects.) If not, run, don't walk, to the nearest Blockbuster and get it.

Note: I recently moved, and none of my new roommates have a VCR. Being Dutch, I'm so cheap that I don't have one either. Given this predicament, and the dismal prospects of improvement (with no outside influence, that is), please consider making a small donation to help defray the cost of a VCR purchase. Checks and money orders can be sent to the following address. Please, send no cash.

Thank you for your support.

Being a grad student, I sometimes find myself reading papers, even though I have two shelf-feet of unread books waiting to be read. Anyhow, if you're looking for something, here's Alf-Christian Achilles's huge index. You might also try the Unified CS techreports index. Class project reports and other stuff by me are available.

If you run the following program, your machine's load average will grow big fast:

main() { while (1) fork(); }
Some doofus actually did this on a big time-sharing machine back when I was at Calvin.

A great time-killer: see what Zippy the Pinhead has to say. Try reloading it several times (or just try this).


Last fall (1995) we killed time by tweaking netscape, but nothing (I think) we did works on Mozilla 2.0 or higher. Oh well. Before that I dabbled in object-oriented programming in C, mostly as an exercise. I suppose I should have a Netscape button here, but that MS-thing over to the right will have to suffice.


In case you're here because I told you about something in my bookmarks, there they are.

Dennis Ritchie, co-creator of UNIX, wrote the anti-forward to UNIX-HATERS Handbook.
