I'm working on newer and better software for controlling stage and club lighting. It's still in the early stages, so the final form of the product(s) isn't clear to me yet. A likely initial release will be aimed at the club market, currently dominated by Martin LightJockey since a decent offering there won't require any custom hardware. I'm using Haskell and functional reactive programming. I intend to expose some so…

I can see that. We thought we'd keep it wiki-style at the beginning, possibly setting it up as a foundation. we think its more likely that legal clinics & others are more likely to trust it & use it that way. We would start as narrow as possible, possibly focusing on mental health working with the clinic I used to work with and then expanding outwards.
But then I remembered some interview with the founder of betterworldbooks.com: "This idea would be best embodied in a company." In this case, maybe it's not. Lowering the barrier for a non specialist lawyer to work on the kind of cases that attract pro-bono attention is good work.

#197Continuing on with my console editor ( http://purepistos.net/diakonos/ ). Aiming to get it to live up to being billed "A Linux editor for the masses". A recent version formalized an extension system (even though it has been extensible with Ruby for a long while now). Upcoming roadmap items: modes; window splitting; further development of the git extension; ...
Are there any plugins for Diakonos?
More extensions to come. With the extension system, you can: create functions in Ruby, map them to any keys; bundle editor configuration (key config, syntax highlighting, new language defs); integrate the functionality of gems; you name it.

#199Trying to make MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) suck less. Also working on a tool to make scientific collaboration easier.
How are you trying to make it suck less? (I'm just curious: recently, I had three MRI scans while I was in hospital).
Big picture idea: the MRI doesn't spit out pictures, it spits out encoded pictures (the Fourier transform). Using a simple model of what bodies look like, I can dramatically narrow the search space when decoding the pictures.
