Centrallix Application Platform

The idea behind the project is to create a way to create applications which will withstand the test of time and be easy to maintain for administrators. The applications for Centrallix are independent of the display mechanism meaning that an application could eventually be used both through a web interface or locally through a Java GUI.

rep2ai: StarCraft Replay to AI converter

This was a project that I worked on for a while in 2007 in cooperation with the guys over at broodwarai.com. It basically just takes a replay from a StarCraft game and converts it into an ai script which can then be used to overwrite the games defaults. This can be useful in rapidly creating a script for a mod or in creating an ai whose basic build order mimics that of a human player.

News aggregator

This is a little project that I have just worked on in my spare time. I at some point realized that I spend way too much time trying to keep up with news and especially with social news sites like reddit. For this reason, I wrote some pretty basic scripts that crawl many news sites and aggregate all of the results to a database. Each day, any new stories are emailed to me along with a link to the original article. This allows me to just ignore the news for a few days if I need to get things done, but I am always able to come back to it at later date when I have more time. There is a very basic front end for this project which can be found here.
