Secret astrophysics tools

One of the things that changed when creating the new site was some of the content. On the old website, I used to have other free applications. But they didn’t fit in with the “Tools for the IT Professional” philosophy. They are astrophysics simulation tools, not applications for typical IT people. So I wasn’t sure if I wanted to keep them on the main site. Still, they generated traffic. And some of those visitors might be interested in the other applications. One option was to create a second website with those astrophysics tools and link to my main website. I was in the process of creating the new site so I wasn’t that fond of the idea of creating yet another website. In the end I did convert the old pages to the new pages. I just didn’t create a link from the main website to these free tools. They still can be found through search engines and download sites though.

Want to see the free astrophysics tools? Check our Gravitational Lensing application and our simulation of the Pluto – Neptune orbits.

Maybe I will create a link from the main website. Or I might just create a new site for these 2 free applications after all. For now they’ll have to stay where they are.

So now you know what the "Other" part in the Forum is for. And yes, the source code is available on request for those 2 tools.
