The fine folks at Google have done an incredible job of porting FUSE to the Mac, and have also created sshfs, which is incredibly useful. Unfortunately, sshfs is officially unsupported, and bug reports are not welcome on the MacFUSE page (and there's really no other place for them). To remedy the situation, and to make sshfs useable to more people, I am forking the project and providing an updated package here.

When looking for an alternative way of doing source code management, I came across a number of distributed version control systems, among them git and Bazaar (or bzr). While the former may be technologically the most elegant and efficient system around, Bazaar is so far ahead in usability, documentation, and support that the choice is really quite easy.

My main research interest is Information Visualization (InfoVis), specifically the visualization of large and difficult data sets. This page describes some of my work, including Parallel Sets, Molecule Visualization, Large Data Information Visualization, User Studies, Semantic Depth of Field (SDOF), and AsbruView.

Information Visualization (InfoVis) is a field of research that deals with the visual display of data. By looking at images of the data, we can use the immense power of our visual system to detect patterns or outliers, and quite generally come to a better understanding of our data. To achieve this, the visualization method must be suitable for the data and the task in question.

The Loch-Lomo is a pinhole camera I built from an old Agfa Clack 6x9 box camera.

A pinhole camera is the most basic type of camera: a light-tight box, a piece of film or photographic paper, and a small hole to let light in. Pinhole cameras produce images like no other camera, and offer a lot of room for experimentation. They are also easy to make.

One of the most amazing things about the internet is how you can find people and things at virtually any place in the world. This is how Paul Kosara (who lives in the US, while I am in Austria) found me, and got me interested in finding more people with this rather unusual name (or so I still assume).
