This is my page dedicated to various endeavours that I've attempted over the past couple of years. These are little projects that I was involved with, usually with other people. I hope you find them interesting.
Here are
the currently available projects you can view information on:
Erik's Other Inventions
These are some inventions I've created or worked on in my time
in the software industry.
Pitfalls of Curve Fitting
This was a talk I gave at Sonoma State University's
M*A*T*H Colloquium Lecture Series in March 1998. It was based on the real
world work at Jandel Scientific Software, and went over some of the pitfalls encountered
while performing curve fits on data.
ACRE - Audio Composition Research
Environment
This is a Windows application designed for realtime research and composition of
audio and music. I've been working on the user interaction part of the program,
which allows a user to graphically manipulate the sounds my using the mouse. Although
our group stopped working on the project in late 1999, it was the stepping stone
for a standard framework for a generalized sound generator.
CRC32 - A 32-bit Cyclic Redundancy Check program
Cyclic Redundancy Checks are used in communication network protocols to verify
that there were no errors during transmission. I wanted one for use on my local
system for checking files, but most of the utility programs I found on the Internet
really sucked, so I wrote my own. My program allows you to calculate a CRC value
for any file, or even every file on an entire hard drive.
Joint Statistical Meeting poster session:
Comparing Abalone Populations along the Sonoma County, CA Coast
This was a poster session I presented at the Joint Statistical Meetings conference
in Anaheim, CA in August 1997. I was presenting this for the Section on Statistics
and the Environment of the American Statistical
Association. The poster session I presented was about a semester project I
did for one of my statistics classes at Sonoma
State University, in which I was counting abalone populations in two coves
on the Sonoma County coastline.
