Welcome to Midnight Code |

Midnight Code is a singular resource created by Ian Latter to house and share the most useful open source software that he has developed.
The projects presented on this site are not commercial. They are the publicly publishable, cumulative and structured outputs of the seemingly ceaseless need to create that stems from the author himself. Some of the projects have a long meandering history that is due to their unique evolution, while others have been created here simply to fit a niche need. The works that have been developed by the author under contract for commercial organisations are not public, and hence have not been published here. Though public works by the author, as published here, have been used to develop private (commercial) software and appliances.
The main project grouping is "The Planet Series" project set. This series of projects is designed to bring Linux to life, in the Home or Office, to fulfill the complete spectrum of communications and life-style technologies for all non-enterprise consumers. These projects start at Mercury with the development environment required to get you started, and end at Pluto with connectivity from your LAN to the rest of the universe. This project group is further serviced with the enterprise-class CHAOS and CosMos, providing limitless processing capacity to the computationally starved. Other projects, grouped as such, include intelligent agents, stop-motion animation, and various other non-project bound papers.
Each project is clearly defined, and contains screen shots, documentation, source code, links and activity information, as identified.

Further-more, and consistent with the philosophy behind the license, the supporting web site (midnightcode.org) has been created to readily facilitate site-wide mirroring. The site itself has been constructed simply, with no fancy web features (such as Flash or Java) being utilised in either the site navigation or content dispersal.
