<p>Me, a growing number of years ago...</p>

<p class="D">My main work interest is in OO-design. Some history about my work
here: I worked for one year on <a href="/pub/WWW/Arena/beta-3">Arena</a>, a
testbed browser, to show what can be done using <a
href="/pub/WWW/Style/">Style Sheets</a>. This page is <a
href="/pub/WWW/TR/WD-css1.html">"Css Powered"</a> and have justification,
margins, backgrounds, colors and font styles without hurting any text or non
css-capable browsers. When CSS became a <a
href="/pub/WWW/Press/CSS1-REC-PR.html">recommendation</a>, I moved to <a
href="../../Jigsaw/">Jigsaw</a> a HTTP server written in Java, working on HTTP/1.1 testing, then I became
the <a href="../../Jigsaw/">Jigsaw</a> activity leader.</p>
<p class="C">I created the <a href="/2000/xp/">XML Protocol Activity</a> where the <a href="/2000/xp/Group/">XML Protocol Working Group</a> published SOAP Version 1.2 and various other specifications. I am now the <a href="/2002/ws/">Web Services Activity Lead</a>, and the <a href="/2001/tag">Technical Architecture Group (TAG)</a> Team Contact.</p>

<p class="C">Creating a strategy game is really a strange thing. You try to be
smart enough to create a program powerful enough to beat you at your own game!
I have no time to think of a better strategy, so i can still beat it! The java
version was written in less than three hours, so forgive me for the missing
'restart' button.</p>

<p class="E">The following links are pointing to a strategy game i made during
my spare time.</p>

<p></p>

<p class="E"><a href="fortress/fortress.html">JavaFortress</a> is Here (based
on the 1.2 engine).<br>
WebFortress was Here. (based on the 1.2 engine) (I hate when links are broken, and things moved...)<br>
<a
href="http://www.raubacapeu.net/people/yves/misc/src/xfortress-2.0.1.tar.gz">XFortress</a>
is Here (with the brand new 2.0 engine and with an evolution package
(2.0.1)).</p>

<p class="E">I did also the engine (all the AlphaBeta and extensions) of the
new version of <a
href="http://www.arsac.org/olivier/darwersi/">Darwersi</a>
(will be 2.0) for <a
href="http://www.arsac.org/olivier/">Olivier</a>.</p>

<p class="E">I also spend part of my spare time helping a sailing silumation site: <a href="http://virtual-loup-de-mer.org/">Virtual Loup-de-mer</a>, mostly in the performance and wind interpolation areas.</p>

<p></p>
    <p class="D">Note that this page is quite ugly, it is mainly because 
      I don't have time to work on it, and also that I wanted to demonstrate 
      bad CSS implementations (and PNG implementations also).
    </p>

<p class="E">For friends, I have some pictures available on my <a
href="http://www.raubacapeu.net/">personal site</a> (mostly travel), here is a

browser doesn't support well PNG alpha channel transparency!</p>
