This is the personal web site of Mike Bourgeous. I'm a musician, amateur videographer, professional software developer, and entrepreneur. Here you'll find general information about me and my work.

Contact Information

I have a blog on Posterous. You can also contact me through this web site.

Current Projects

Nitrogen Logic, creating home automation software and hardware that lets you use the Kinect camera and other cool techniques to control your home.

I also do limited contract programming via my business Audio Interface Design.

Open Source

I have contributed to or started a number of projects on SourceForge, and I have a Github account where I post code as well.

Past Work

This is a collection of projects I've started, contributed to, or otherwise been involved with at some point in the past.

Recent Memory

I wrote the ARCOS software used by JBL Synthesis for audio system configuration (see this YouTube video).

Middle Ages

I wrote most of the third-party control section of the help file in London Architect v2.0, an application used to configure sound systems made by BSS Audio. I also designed most of the Crestron touchscreen UI used in BSS Audio's 2007 Infocomm demonstration, and did a small amount of work on their 2008 Infocomm demo's AMX system.

The MyHD Linux Driver was an attempt to reverse engineer a chipset commonly used by ATSC digital TV tuner cards around 2002-2003. A working Linux framebuffer driver and ALSA audio driver were produced before the project was abandoned in 2007 due to the availability of Linux-friendly digital TV tuners.

Ancient History

I developed my own home theater frontend software in 2002-2003 using OpenGL, and deployed it on a Linux HTPC that ran until the hardware died.

In 2002 I worked for Lindows.com, Inc., and wrote the official easter egg of their original Click-n-Run software.

Pre-history

These projects are nearly ten years old or older, and are included for curiosity only.

I coauthored libfbx, a library to provide easier access to the Linux framebuffer. There were some other libraries written along with libfbx, as part of the defunct U4X Linux distribution project.

palace-dci was a plugin for XMMS (an old Linux audio player) that used a PC's parallel port to control a light show.

Other Interests

Music – Listen to some of my older music.

Video – See my tech demos on my YouTube channel.
