About
a vague, apocryphal, and soi-disant description of the author
What
This site is a collection of odds and ends I have incidentally produced: including software, articles, notes, book transcriptions, and whatever else.
The name HXA7241 takes its pattern from the film THX-1138:

“How shall the new environment be programmed? It all happened so slowly that most people failed to realise that anything had happened at all.”
Who
      
      Mostly, I have been writing software for various platforms and languages – for many years. (Here is the most ancient code I still have.) I am usually in Northern Europe.
But really: I am less than 0.5% different from anyone else genetically, and just as ordinary experientially – so look around, pick anyone, and you will have a fairly good picture of me.

Not photos – that would be too mundane. Here are some synthetic renderings (made with one of my old renderers) of my old study:
