Home of Yet Another Programmer...

Carpe diem quam minimum credula postero.

Welcome to my (Åke Hedman) personal page. I don't know your reason for being here but on this page I take the opportunity to talk about my self, my family, my friends and my projects. This is because the page belongs to me and is about me and its my personal page. Its not here because I think I am the best person in the world though… I'm just yet another programmer….

This is my list of IMO best whiskeys and brands . 12 is best, 0 is worst.

You may wounder how I can give a whiskey 10 points even if I have not tasted all whiskeys there are. Well for me something that get 12 points here on the list is worth it. If I find something that is even better it will also get 12 points put the order among them in the list may indicate how I feel they relate to each other. On the other hand it may not.

I am involved in some projects that might interest you:

D of Scandinavia is my company and it is located on the web at http://www.dofscandinavia.com. Some low cost solutions for environment monitoring and control.

The CAN project has a CAN Linux driver, canal (CAN Abstraction Layer), VSCP (Very simple Control Protocol, also at http://www.vscp.org ) and some other useful stuff. Its located at http://sourceforge.net/projects/can The project (EDA -Event, Decision, Action) that builds an engine for home automation control is also at this place . Join us in this challenging task if this is something that interest you.

ActiveX controls where one of my business of the past now they are free and down loadable at SourceForge: http://sourceforge.net/activex

My life as a programmer started out in the late 70th. And I built my first computer in the early 80th. In 1991-1992 my company released one of the first VBX control packages on the market for Visual Basic. The controls in the package are nowadays free and can be downloaded (with source) on this page. http://activex.sourceforge.net/ At the same time I developed a groupware program called Gold for Workgroup. This program is available here http://activex.sourceforge.net/ complete with Visual Basic source. This program was quite a success at the time but is very old now…. The latest project is a piece that fits perfectly between EDA and M.U.M.I.N. is VSCP (Very Simple Control Protocol ) a CAN-protocol for SOHO automation. Info is here. http://can.sourceforge.net/

My former company eurosource also produced several successful ActiveX controls that was sold on the Internet. Today they are freely available, with source code on this link. http://activex.sourceforge.net/

This is the way I live today with my family. An old school house with 200 m2 at the ground floor for my wife's and my business and 200 m2 for my family upstairs.

I eat a lot and I like food very much but if I have the decision in my hand I rather not eat meat. I'm not a fanatic but made up my mind about this several years ago. The thing is that I prefer to kill the things I eat myself instead of letting others do it. And if I should do this ( kill animals ) I wouldn't get a lot to eat anyway….

Whiskey, cigars and beer is alright though…. Good wine is also fine.

I constructed a game called “virus” a long time ago. This was sort of my first public program and the only game i have developed. “virus” would probably not be a good name nowadays but it was back then.
