Better late than never! This year, I've been actively working on whole new versions of my software, starting with Precise Age Calculator, which will be available for free on several operating systems, including Windows, Linux and Mac OS.

But as it is still work-in-progress which needs proper packaging to be released as a final product (documentation and setup program), it wasn't ready to celebrate this year's website birthday.

As a result, I've prepared something else this time; the Software Links section has been entirely swept up, to start including software I use everyday. As usual, it will be completed from time to time. Don't forget to suggest your favorite software as well!

That said, if you want any information towards the new incoming software (which I hope to release soon next year), feel free to drop me a line!

Two new musical arrangements from famous Nintendo games are now available for listening and download in the Musical Arrangements section: the introduction and main theme from "The Legend of Zelda", and the ending credits soundtrack from "Super Mario Bros. 3".

As a result, the section now hosts 7 arrangements recorded with the SynthFont software synthesizer and my newly released Arachno SoundFont.

As usual, these arrangements are available as videos on my YouTube channel, as well as on my Dailymotion channel; the audio tracks (MP3 and OGG formats) are available for free download in the Files download center.

Hope you'll enjoy these new tracks from the most famous Nintendo classics!

As promised with the previous site update, the Arachno SoundFont documentation is now available on this website.

You can thus review it before downloading Arachno SoundFont to know what this SoundFont bank has to offer. The documentation lists all available instruments, and delivers many information on SoundFont bank installation and usage.

With this update, I also fixed several display-related bugs reported on the whole website. Some glitches still appear here and there; they'll be fixed progressively.

Hoping, once again, that you'll appreciate Arachno SoundFont, I wish you an Happy Holiday season.

Ten years have passed since this website has been online. Ten years, during which I offered the various IT-related projects I've created, from my first software to my latest musical creations.

And today, I'm extremely pleased to release my latest project, Arachno SoundFont, a sound bank of 128 instruments and 9 GM/GS drumkits, that you can use to achieve more realistic MIDI file playback and composition. Using this bank, I composed my latest musical tracks, and recorded some MIDI arrangements as well.

More than 7 years after this project started, I eventually found the time to write its documentation to release it, today, as a free download, with hundred of MIDI files to play with!

Go to the Arachno SoundFont download page to discover this new creation. The project's documentation will be uploaded very shortly; until then, you will find it bundled in the prevously-mentioned ZIP file.

I hope that you'll enjoy this new project, and many thanks for your support during all these years!

Once is not always, here is an update focused on only one thing, but a big thing!

To continue with the recent renewal of the Online Games section a month ago, I'd like to share a brand new online game with you today. Published only a few days ago, it has already been enjoyed by more than a million players worldwide!

Why? Because it's a Flash-based remake of Super Mario Bros. en Flash. And not a bare remake; aside from offering you to replay all of the original game levels, it enables you to play with the famous main characters of the best Nintendo games: The Legend of Zelda (Link), Metroid (Samus Aran), Mega Man, Castlevania (Simon Belmont), Contra... and, of course, Mario! Everything coming with the original music score from each game, along with the origial strenghts and weaknesses of each character...

An excellent creation in every domain, that I urge you to discover on its dedicated page.
