Welcome to Moonflare home of free stuff for free download, among other things.

This page and everything on it is the personal work of Derrick Coetzee, a student of computer science and mathematics with an interest in computer languages and algorithms. Here I distribute and discuss my current and future software projects. During my research and education I have created the programs here as prototypes and exercises, and I hope others may find them useful.

May 21, 2006 - Put up a download page for my spatial color quantization utility scolorq.

January 2, 2004 - Put up a download/installation and a features page for my prototype-based language MLud.

August 1, 2003 - Added my Standard ML structures implementing Confluently Persistent Catenable Deques.

July 2, 2003 - Added my Lisp module po2hr for converting Otter proof objects to human-readable LaTeX proofs.

June 18, 2003 - Added two C modules to my code section, C List Template and Prestring, both intended to abstract away useful structures in C that are constantly reinvented. Also updated the Abacus Tutorial, mainly by writing a PHP script to generate the abacus diagrams, where before they were constructed by hand.

April 29, 2003 - Added my Neural Network C++ class to the brand new Code section of the site, where I'll post more source code I've written in the future.

March 29, 2003 - Added the Introduction to CVS, a short document written for group members on a school project, but whose audience is anyone who only wants to use an existing repository, such as patrons of SourceForge.

January 25, 2003 - Added a nifty Google search for my site, using their ad-supported Free Search solution. Also made current page stand out and unclickable in menus and added Documents page, and made my e-mail address easier to find.

October 26, 2002 - Added Documents section with the beginnings of the new document Abacus Lessons and providing access to the old document Tautological Sayings. Also now using PHP scripts to construct menus, to decrease maintenance overhead, and I plan to expand use of PHP in the future.

October 21, 2002 - Is it just me, or do I not update this page nearly enough? I've finally moved the page to my own server to avoid those nasty ads and limitations. I plan on making some changes, such as a conversion to XHTML and the addition of some new sections and an overall downgrade in pretentiousness. Hope I find the time!

April 12, 2002 - I've removed the open source page from the site because I felt the speech was stilted and overly optimistic. Also planning to add a new section to discuss some of my new language ideas.

June 19, 2001 - With Freeserver's outright, and really rather stupid refusal to host MSIs, I've retracted Runner's Windows Installer setup and replaced it with a plain binary, but it's just as well. Download it free now.

March 17, 2001 - Runner 2.0 released! Download it free now.

February 27, 2001 - Runner 2.0 is in the works. Deserving of a whole version number jump, Runner 2.0 is now being written from scratch with new features to make it truly an easy and flexible solution for lauching your apps.

January 6, 2001 - Out with the old, in with the new. Moonflare's website goes from company-oriented to individual oriented, with a new focus on free stuff.
