Welcome to FIFTHPLANET.NET

Let me introduce myself first, I'm Sander Jansen (currently living in Huntsville, Alabama) and in my spare time I'm a active developer in writing tools and applications for the free software community. Free as in freedom that is, since I acknowledge the fact that software developers need to make a living somehow.

This pages gives an overview of all the software I've developed in the last few years. They're all free (as in freedom) software and free (as in beer) of charge.

My main reason for writing these applications is because I myself had a need for them and not really because the free software communitiy had a need for them. So yes, I use them very often and hopefully you find them usefull and easy to use as well.

Please feel free to me if you have any trouble with the software, or just want to tell how great (or not) the software is, or if you are in the need of a good programmer.

I also just started a blog.

Goggles DVD Player

Goggles DVD Player is a frontend for Ogle DVD player. Besides the usual features like having a play button etc, Goggles tries to provide features not often found in other dvd players. Since Ogle in itself is only a dvd player, it has some neat capabilities that "general" media players cannot provide. Goggles extends these capabilities with a very userfriendly interface. See below for a list of some the feautures.
