Introduction

Page under construction-This page is just a quick (and ugly..) hack.

Serge was a student in the School of Computing at the Curtin University of Technology - Perth Western Australia.

Here is a sliding puzzle game which was written for an assignment in Computer Graphics.

Click here to download a theme I modified for Sawfish, I merged Smalldome with BeOS and the Theme looks like Smalldome but when you shade a window you no longer see its frame, just the title.

Click here to download a spellchecker I modified for Gvim. The spellchecker was taken from Cream which is a project that aims to make Gvim easier for beginners.

My friend tried it, and the only thing he found interesting was the spell checker that worked on the fly. So I extracted it out of the project and made work it without most of the other stuff. It comes with several dictionaries which can be selected by modifying one line in the .vim file. If there is anything you would like included please email me.
