About Us

Blinkenlichten Productions was conceptualized many years ago as a name to release hobbyist software under, and is now making its first public software releases.

The Mackey Brothers made a name for themselves long ago in the Amiga shareware scene with the game MegaBall and the music player EdPlayer. They have been working professionally in various computer-related industries ever since, but have always had various cool side projects going to keep things interesting. Mostly, these side projects don't get finished, due to free time availability and various distractions (including the next project!). The ones that get far enough along are posted on this website.

Members:

• Ed Mackey is the lead programmer. Ed is an expert at creating cross-platform 3D applications with C++ and OpenGL. He is the person primarily responsible for writing the Blinkenlichten Screen Saver. Lately he has been learning Python and writing Blender plugins.
• Al Mackey is a web developer, artist and musician. Al is well-versed in HTML/CSS, Perl, PHP, JavaScript, and Flash ActionScript. Al also does some Windows programming in Blitz3D.
• Daniel Singer is an electrical engineer turned C++ junkie. Daniel designed and co-constructed the original Blinken Lights with John Early.
• John Early is a SQL database expert and programmer. He co-developed with Ed the formulas for parametric Sproingies, which give them their new, smooth framerate on high-end machines.
