Erik's Projects

This is my page dedicated to various endeavours that I've attempted over the past couple of years. These are little projects that I was involved with, usually with other people. I hope you find them interesting.


Here are the currently available projects you can view information on:


Erik's Other Inventions

These are some inventions I've created or worked on in my time in the software industry.


Pitfalls of Curve Fitting

This was a talk I gave at Sonoma State University's M*A*T*H Colloquium Lecture Series in March 1998. It was based on the real world work at Jandel Scientific Software, and went over some of the pitfalls encountered while performing curve fits on data.


ACRE - Audio Composition Research Environment

This is a Windows application designed for realtime research and composition of audio and music. I've been working on the user interaction part of the program, which allows a user to graphically manipulate the sounds my using the mouse. Although our group stopped working on the project in late 1999, it was the stepping stone for a standard framework for a generalized sound generator.


CRC32 - A 32-bit Cyclic Redundancy Check program

Cyclic Redundancy Checks are used in communication network protocols to verify that there were no errors during transmission. I wanted one for use on my local system for checking files, but most of the utility programs I found on the Internet really sucked, so I wrote my own. My program allows you to calculate a CRC value for any file, or even every file on an entire hard drive.


Joint Statistical Meeting poster session:
Comparing Abalone Populations along the Sonoma County, CA Coast


This was a poster session I presented at the Joint Statistical Meetings conference in Anaheim, CA in August 1997. I was presenting this for the Section on Statistics and the Environment of the American Statistical Association. The poster session I presented was about a semester project I did for one of my statistics classes at Sonoma State University, in which I was counting abalone populations in two coves on the Sonoma County coastline.
