| This is application cannot be downloaded - no 2nd copies were ever kept and when the "Virgin" site went down, it was lost.. This was my return for a couple of installation system I used on some releases, the encryption was a " sequential logic gate binary comparison ". |
| ||
| This was a request, so on a family computer his personal files can be stored without anyone accessing them. It was a simple task, move the files to a 'Windows System Folder' then change it's name and properties via the 3 letter extension , unless you know what to open it with or how to use it ("secure"). It generates a table for external storage ( e.g. floppy disk ) and the 'Stand-Alone' program will reverse the files when needing to access them ( which also can be stored on disk ). | ||

| Here was another request, it came with a bit of source code which I ran. This was to change the 1st sector of a 3.5" floppy disk. Whereby I could not release someone else's code, so I took an image of the before and after of the sector. This is what I used in this program along with an animation to show the process was complete. ( If I recall it would of been for both formats, as in High Density or not ). | ||

| One of the first applications I wrote in 16-bit and the most important !. Since it was a prototype, after seeing all situations hence I broke the code up and masked the files. Though now it is ' stolen', so whoever has the code => Good Luck! in finding the actual formulae decoding in the haystack of files but I have a good memory !. | ||

| I wote this just before the game turned professional and the SRU was a '.org'. It was later ( working for a 'Web Comapny' ), I was asked to write their concept screen saver for the SRU ( never developed further ). The animation was not written for todays modern fast systems ( for below 500MHz) | ||

This is my Hom'er' - age to the Simpsons, and still has no speed issues. This uses
the ' Windows / Media ' folder i.e. '' Non-Server ' , for the sound files. If ever noticed !, a dig at business and how Burns in the Simpsons spoke at points in the animation. (Note : This was a memorial release for two I respected ),. | ||

programs are executable on Windows ( SET CLOCK BEFORE 2000 ) - Before Windows 2000 & NT
As a note to why : ( not the "K.K" instails i.e Why ( 'Y' ) 2K ., as I have three K's and a middle name )
A family partner (old) mentioned about the issue and even though I said it isn't a mainline problem. He asked if I could do something and as linked to a member of the family, I spent 4 months creating an easy test system. Afterwards his idea was for me to travel 90km total on a bus (£8 return) to check a system and he would give me from £50 a £10 note - with his greed why would they not go to a computer shop for the same price!. ( a 6 hour total trip would only be for a single system i.e. £2 and not multiple - even on unemployment income > it was a no thanks ).
It was meant to help, hence a internet global release. Which I thought peaked at 50,000 weekly downloads listed on the only site , though I found out after it was on all software servers globally . Wondered why some rare enquires were not in English and no 'Google' translate then !.

| This first release was put onlinre in the middle of 1998. Though it used a simple interface, the application could use DOS style commands to disable or set parts of the testing procedures. It was a few months after release that I had emails requesting information about a standard version. Even though it was not the plan to release any more , so I did stop my previous research to develop another version over the next 4 months. | ||

| The 'Beta' version was released in late 1998 with full fuctionality. As I could not fully test some of the new diagnostics on a range of systems, I was not 100% sure on a few of the extra additions. One addition was a A.I. based fast folder search, using the 'Breadth First' search system for space-saving diagnostics on the main Hard Drive. | ||

| A month after the 'Beta' release came a job offer, it was near the point for the standard version release. As it was a ' home-town ' web company, you knew they looked at your online site but their wages would mean I would have to move back to the small town ideals ( maybe a mistake ). Though they adoppted a product ( without paying any development costs ), so I only removed the option for printing but created a 'Backdoor' i.e. save as file - then print in notepad. As I made no money on any of the regsitered codes sent out and the company probally charged me for the single regsiteration page, but they got publicity for free !. | ||

Can be run on all 32-bit Windows platforms upto 7
| ||
| This application was to show patterns in security situations, as the identity of a person can be these patterns. As I recall, there was an 10 - 15% error margin but this could of been reduced if it was developed further As improvements, well if used for passwords then it would be ideal for online security or even emergency cash withdrawls without a card. | ||

( Never host a site in Iceland ; 2 companies and years later, they're still problems i.e. would say you can use Perl and it never or not properly worked, locked out of site for 6 months, domain hosting paid for but they didn't host for 7 months until they had a certain email [ last chance why ? - 3rd Party enquiry on No domain ] and the classic no emails returned.). |
In 1996 with my first Windows PC, I looked into fractals as complex numbers and the mandelbroth formula. This started the 'Prototype Fractal Program' and when I developed different factal images, as some were being organic in form .
An Organic Form
('load display "mand11.frt" and run')
If our shape can be defined by parameters and formulae, how does the parameters get generated ?. My first thought was filter but it was also a point where if things were static - maybe. Though to expand we need refined parameters and this is as I now understand to be growth, as you can magnify in to fractals and enlarge.
(' In prototype fractal program - magnify works, just since windows 98 a 'select window' on left mouse button stopped appearing ')
To briefly explain that if to grow, then you need something that can grow and in nature it is a seed. This can be generated correctly into a form and therefore precise values. Now when looking at how to create a seed the ideas went to compressed data, to which I knew nothing about it's mechanism back then. Though when compressing I knew that the value could be to a max of 15% on the true size and that did not relate to the real world. So in reality there must be a mechanism where a reduction can be created and from that growth i.e. coined a phrase 'Super'- compression. Though if it was ever about improving on a current mechanism, that wasn't a problem but not the answer.
Over the years I have built a mass of models testing all the aspects, though anyone that you speak to on "compression" it was always the same i.e. can't be done , wasting your time and you should do!. As I said the answer was never as simple as compressing but more the ' Chaos-Barrier '.
The benefits to cracking the barrier can be : Ultimate Security, Improved Communications / Networks, Better Data Management and even looking forward, maybe a new form of propulsion. Though it might be like ' rubbing two sticks of dynamite ', as with all new theories there are issues.
