Welcome to my homepage

In the following lines I'll give you a
short description of what's available so far. You can use the
above navigation bar to browse through the pages. If you have
any questions or if there's something else you'd like to tell
me just drop me a line at w3@michnet.de. You can pgp-encrypt
the message with my public PGP key.

Pop3spam
|
| |
In the last couple of weeks I received lots of
unsolicited emails (aka spam). That alone is already
annoying but it's even worse if the messages are very
large as well. This is especially true with a rather
limited bandwidth. Hence I wrote pop3spam which
connects to a POP3 server and deletes all unwanted
messages "in-place". pop3spam is written and
distributed under the GNU General Public License which
means that its source code is freely-distributed and
available to the general public.

Mutt
|
| |
In section mutt you will find various information about the
mail user agent mutt; one of the best MUAs in existence.
At first glance new users often find mutt somewhat poor looking.
But don't let this first impression fool you. Mutt is extremly
powerful and can be used very efficiently. I put together some
stuff to ease the configuration as well as some other hopefully
useful things.

Brainfuck
|
| |
I recently learned the Standard ML programming language
and wrote a couple of rather small programs. One of them was an interpreter
for the esoteric programming language Brainfuck.
I've also written an interpreter in C which even does some slight optimizations.

Exprt
|
| |
exprt is a little program I wrote some time ago when I used
to use Windows. It's a VBA add-in which cracks the password protection
of workbooks and worksheets in Microsoft Excel 97/2000. I did a few
tests with Excel XP and it removed the worksheet protection as well,
although it took more time. Unfortunately, workbook protection couldn't
be removed. It's freeware and you can also download the source code.

Vpn
|
| |
On the 1st of September 2002 I began studying Angewandte Informatik at
Fachhochschule Zweibrücken.
Since I already had a Laptop equipped with a Wireless LAN card
I wanted to take advantage of the available WLAN.
The FH uses VPN software from Cisco. Unfortunately, the
description on how to setup the Cisco VPN client was only available
for Windows and since I didn't want to use Windows I had to do it
on my own. During the installation and configuration process I
encountered some pitfalls one might be faced with. To make it somewhat
easier for other Linux users I decided to write this manual which
covers the installation and configuration of the Cisco VPN
client for Linux for use with Wireless LAN and Wired LAN at Fachhochschule
Zweibrücken.

PGP-key
|
| |
If you want to tell me something that not everyone should know or if
you have just a little paranoid disposition, go grasp my public
pgp key and encrypt the message with it.
In fact, encrypted mail is very welcome since I do believe in the
privacy of letters and since it is trivial for third parties to
eavesdrop SMTP traffic.

Deutsch
|
| |
Collection of interesting links (German) about the
misuse of the German language.
This is mainly "Denglisch", the extensive use
of "Innen", and the notorious
apostrophe.

Qwerty vs. qwertz
|
| |
I wrote a small article which discusses why the
qwerty keyboard layout
is in my opinion better suited for certain users than
the qwertz layout which is very common in Germany and
Austria.
