Introduction

This site is about the world of toxygen, a pseudonym I'm using since the early 1990s to sign most of my (art) work. Despite the fact, that toxygen originates from the composition of the words toxic and oxygen, it has no special meaning except for its unique sound. Have a look around and take some time. Enjoy!

WorldDB Digital Atlas

What started as a personal travelling tool eventually became an extensive, interactive Digital Atlas of the World: Millions of unique points, vector layers and raster data mixed with real-time data - the world at your fingertip. Doesn't matter whether you're interested in geography or just want to explore what's around you - have a look!

Software & Computer Programming

Some software I've written. Please note, that the use of this software is at your own risk and restricted to private, noncommercial applications.

• TChess is a stylish front-end for playing chess games. It supports WinBoard compatible chess engines, playing over the Internet (with real-time chat and speech), engine battles, game import/export (PGN & FEN format) and more. Many skins from classic to ultra fancy are included. Runs on any Windows System supporting DirectX 7 or better.
• DOoRS is an operating system developed from the scratch. It runs on most i386 based PC systems with a VESA compatible graphic card and at least 16MB of RAM. It supports floppy, harddisk & CD-ROM drives and up to 32 processor cores. Some demo applications, a Tetris clone and a Mandelbrot renderer, are included as well. See the DOoRS readme file for more details. Download the ISO image, burn it on a CD-ROM and boot your computer to see for yourself.
