Popeye – short history
I’m happy to add a new topic to the section about Popeye solving software –
A short history of POPEYE
by Thomas Brand, Germany
I’m very grateful to Thomas for sharing his memories and I’d like to invite all of you to add your own views of how it all has began…
I’d like to mention that some time before Thomas Brand has written to me about his own batch-scripts for Popeye he uses for a long time. There’re also some interesting moments to compare with what I’ve written in my Batch-scripts to run Popeye. So, I’ll add later what I’ve learned!
Also, Thomas has just started his retro blog – www.thbrand.de – the author tells about: “I hope to have some interesting stuff for retro friends (and also interested beginners). In the moment the articles and pages are mostly “German only”, but I plan to provide English translations or summaries at least.”
5 months!

Update to My Problems 080912
Update to My Problems (3)!
(08.09) Have added 4 more problems to the list in My Problems section – problem No.14, problem No.15, problem No.16, problem No.17. Now I have all problems composed in 2011 in this list.
Few words about the format:
- the list of problems is shown as a table, where you see problem No. in the first column and a small diagram to get an idea if you wish to look at that problem or not at all! 🙂 The both – problem No. and diagram – are the links to the problem, so you can click on them to see the page with it.
- on each page with published problem you can see the second number in a format /99NNN/ – this is a number in ankona database, you can click on it to see how the problem looks there. My published problems in ankona are marked as “public” – so everyone can view them, but [EDIT] option is shown and allowed to the author only.

Update to My Problems
Update to My Problems !
(01.09) 1 more problem is added to My Problems section. You can see it by direct link also – my problem No.9.
(31.08)Have added 3 more problems to my list in My Problems section. I hope, I haven’t done any mistakes when trying to do everything faster. Please let me know if any link doesn’t work. Thanks!!
(30.08) When created a site, I’ve planned to add my published problems here. But with all other activities never had time. Now I’ve decided at least to start!
For now the very first 5 my published problems (4 of them are orthodox helpmates) are added in My Problems section. Hopefully, I will add all the problems in 2-3 weeks. Most likely, I’m the most interested person in this section. It is my memory.. and seems like several first problems for me are the most meaningful. I have written some comments to them. And could write much more! 🙂 The fact is that I remember the time of composing them much better, than for some recent problems I have. I believe, it is the same for many of you.. Or?
