Matt McCutchen's Web Site

Welcome, dear traveller, to my virtual stronghold!  Here you will find information on various projects I have worked on, from software to math to music; I would be happy to hear your thoughts about any of them.  More about me and this site (recommended reading for new visitors).

• [# @] 2009-09-15: I have released Measurements 1.3, a minor update that should make the extension work with Java 1.5.

• [# @] 2009-05-06: Between versions 2007.07.07 and 2008.07.20, I gave the Big Integer Library a major makeover, reworking and cleaning up code written years ago to conform to my current practices and fixing at least one major problem (the implicit conversions) in the process.  Now for the past few months, I have been working on a similar makeover of this site.    Read more...

Projects

• SuperbChemistry for OpenOffice.org: A macro to super- and subscriptify chemical formulas in OpenOffice.org Writer documents.
• Least-Unpopularity Matching Criteria: Information and documents from my computer science research on better optimality criteria and algorithms for the assignment of people to positions based on one-sided preferences.
• mgear, a make-based build tool: A build tool (under development) on top of GNU Make that provides several additional features, most of them meant to improve the robustness of the build process.
• Measurements for OpenOffice.org: An OpenOffice.org Calc add-in that tracks units of measure and significant figures.
• My email solution: How I rigged Evolution to act as a Gmail replacement that can send real mail from my other email accounts.
