This is plash's homepage thing. Everything done and being done is listed here, obviously excluding all the secret stuff because they is secrets.

about

plash is an introverted abnormality that spawned many moons ago in Ohio — a very queer place. plash: loves video games, computer programming, making all the things, books, tea, waffles, carrots, chiptune, classical music and (especially) violins; would be, in another universe, a bibliopegist or a luthier; prefers style and humor over being correct, when appropriate.

One can stalk plash on the interwebz via the buttons on the left, or in Real Life™ by doing whatever actual stalkers do.

things

Cool things and questionably cool things-in-progress that plash has either created or touched.

Allopoeia

Allopoeia (also known as The Allo) is an open-authorship journal/blag for anything and everything that was created as a replacement for plash's WordPress blog. See here if you're interested in posting something (it would be totally rad).

duct

duct is a malleable, object-oriented, general-purpose library for multiple programming languages and multiple platforms (currently only C++ and C♯; the BlitzMax version is no longer maintained).

All maintained ports support at least the following features:

• A generic, extensible archive class.
• A variable and parser framework with templating (used internally for the ductScript, CSV and INI parsers).
• ductScript: a Quake-/Source engine-style format (it could theoretically be used for “scripting”, but that is not its focus).
• CSV and INI parsers.

duct++ further implements stream classes (useful for layered data handling) and some filesystem abstraction. Unfortunately uses ICU for encoding support and for code unit strings; however: the plan is to drop it once C++11's Unicode stuff gets implemented in MSVC (which will be never because Microsoft is a jerk).

duct♯ is an experimental port and thus doesn't support much. It was created for a single multi-platform application using GtkSharp and Mono, but it should work under .NET just fine.

Auxiliary

Here are some other little things that warrant mention:

• brinktools: some shabby code for reading BRINK's SDMD2 and SDPK2 formats (including documentation)
• Elian fonts: variant-width and monospace fonts for the Elian script (including FontForge source files)
