The Orde van GIS project on which I worked for Ranj has won the CineKid New Media Award (Jury Award). The awards are part of this year’s CineKid Festival.
Among the other entries were Nintendogs (Nintendo) and Fifa Street 2 (EA SPORTS BIGâ„¢), which makes winning the award with this modest project even more of an accomplishment!

I while ago I wrote a program for solving the soma cube puzzle. I got interested in the soma cube problem by reading about it in a math book by Martin Gardner, The Colossal Book Of Mathematics, which I got from my buddy Rob. It is a very good book for those who like to play with mathematics.
Lying in bed at night I would try and find solutions to the problem in my head. After finding a couple, I was no longer interested in the problem itself. Instead I got interested in finding a way to find all solutions. That’s when I came up with the algorithm implemented in this swf.
My program attacks the soma cube problem with brute force and will find all possible solutions pretty fast. It can easily be applied to variations of the standard problem.

I wrote a Wordpress plugin that will automatically add a target attribute to links in your posts.
You can specify the target window in the Options panel of the Wordpress Admin Interface. The plugin can be configured separately for hyperlinks linking to local pages and for hyperlinks linking to external pages.
See here for more details.

At Ranj I have been working on a demo for the upcoming Project Management game called Sharkworld.
The demo was made as a showcase for a HMR conference, as well as a proof of concept for the use of interactive video, sms and and phone calls in games to enhance a sense of realism.
