• Master thesis (2005) on a multi-agent architecture for the 'Visual Gaming' section of the MS Imagine Cup 2005
• Some short essays on organic agent architectures, the `Galileo' navigation system, a comparison of internet mapping systems and small object localization

Code corner

• If you ever need a voronoi clustering in C#, feel free to use my solution here.
  Update: new version FortuneVoronoi.zip.
• There is a problem with SynchToy 1.4 - it doesn't run on x64. I fixed it. (MS forgot to set the app type to 'x86' instead of 'Any plattform'. They use a dll wich only runs in 32bit mode.)
• New screensaver :) SmartScreenSetup.msi
