Software projects I've worked on that are out somewhere on the Internet include:
- jBrowse, the really rather good Japanese dictionary browser plugin
- Asmex, an open source .NET assembly viewer which also happens to serve as a guide to the PE file format
- SVGNet (the actual project homepage seems to have been taken by domain squatters now) which is a C# system for outputting GDI+ graphics operations to SVG XML files.

Painter Custom Palette Files
If you use Fractal Design/Metacreations/Procreate/Corel Painter a lot -- and you should -- you'll use lots of custom palettes. After the problems of Painter 8, versions IX and X of Painter have a highly effective custom palette system -- except for one thing: brushes on a custom palette have the icon of their Brush Category, and nothing to show what particular brush they are. Maddening. Help is at hand! As luck would have it, the PAL file format (i.e. the files that are created when you choose to 'Export' a custom palette from the Organizer) contain an actual copy of the icon art for each item on the palette, in an easily edited format! By editing these files you can (with a bit of effort) get whatever icons you like on your custom brush palettes.

The jBrowse FAQ
Over the years, a fair few questions have been asked about jBrowse. jBrowse is no longer under active development, but it is under active use, so I am collecting a few common questions here.Why no Opera/Mozilla/Firefox version?
This is by far the most commonly asked question about jBrowse. The answer is: it's too difficult. I agree that having jBrowse only in IE is a huge pain. I use Opera myself. But implementing jBrowse in Firefox (which is the second most widely used browser and the best understood one for plugins) is unbelievably hard.
