An idea I’ve been throwing around since the first JS1k programming competition was to see if it would be possible to build a javascript syntax highlighter of some form that could fit in a single tweet. (In the first event, there was additional credit given to tweetable code.) I’ve been able to make something that… Continue reading Tweet sized syntax highlighter

Network Visualization
I worked on a network visualization tool in processing for my Ubiquitous Computing class. It observes network traffic and attempts to geolocate the servers you communicate with. It isn’t easily installable at the moment, but I hope to rectify that in the near future.

As I begin to focus on specific projects I’ll keep this blog updated. At present I’m looking at network overlay schemes which retain anonymity while… Continue reading The story continues
pastat (another pulse audio utility)
I got around to writing another utility for pulse audio that I’ve been wanting. I’m calling it pastat, since it essentially works like ifstat, and prints the amplitude of the streams to each of your audio devices at regular intervals. I’ve made github the home for these utilities. Feel free to try it out, or… Continue reading pastat (another pulse audio utility)
