Some software for free
Though I'm not a professional (web) programmer, I learned my computer programming skills during my career as a product marketing engineer for microprocessors in multinational semiconductor companies (Assembly language and 'C', mostly), and while building this site over the last 10 years or so. When I changed jobs (a long time ago), I promised myself to not go and learn another programming language - I broke my promise... :)
While developing this website, I made some web-based utilities for myself (also, just for the fun of it) which I decided to post here, in case they are of use to others. Contact me if you'd like to get the source code.
These browser-based tools and fun things I developed are offered as-is, with no guarantees what so ever. They should work on most modern browsers though some may be a bit pointless on a mobile device.
- Colour scheme maker. Experiment with HSL and make HEX data for websites
- Rich text editor (Nicedit instance) can clean tags from MS-WORD text for HTML
- QR code generator, for text (websites, emails, ...) or VCARD (contacts)
- CSS "Spinner" (used on the home page while loading)
- Automatic answer generator, for those sometimes difficult messages... :)
- Exposure Calculator, for when using ND filters.
