An introductory tutorial about web development. The plan is to assume the reader has no prior knowledge, start at the basics, and hopefully walk all the way up through building a dynamic web application. It's only just started, http://trevorhunsaker.com

#22It's not really "in progress" for the moment since I've essentially solved the problem for myself, but I examined several different techniques to enable real-time transliteration in OSX (in the vein of http://www.translit.ru — "chego" turns into "чего" as you type) and implemented most of them to varying degrees of completeness. I'm now happily using technique #1 (input method binary) in my everyday life and it's so, so much better than the default or phonetic Russian keyboards. Eventually, when I have some free time, I want to generate pre-compiled binaries, do some refactoring, create a pretty home page, fix the documentation, and add some extra features. But if you'd like to use it now, you can pull the code and compile to your heart's content. You can even change the transliteration input/output map to anything you want — the format is simple JSON!

#23A game - I haven't worked on it in exactly ten months now :'(. My willpower is drained. Here's the pathfind & boid/flocking - I am going to rewrite it, it's incredibly buggy and ugly as of now :( https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1367825/coop_pathfinding... - sorry for the dirty screen, I couldn't record the screen because of performance. Here's the menus - saw a presentation by Martin Johansson on "Make it jucy" (…
What's the difference between the green and read blocks/boids? — The menu QuickTime movie didn't load for me.
Different types of enemies. Sorry, not sure why they didn't work. It's the same type. I'll look into it.

#24up, a bash function to make walking up the directory tree easier.
It allows walking up by passing in a --level commandline option:
$ cd home/helpermethod/projects/bash-specs
$ up --levels=2
$ pwd
/home/helpermethod
$ cd home/helpermethod/projects/bash-specs
$ up helpermethod
$ pwd
/home/helpermethod
It's more or less finished implementation-wise but lacks documentation and installation instructions.

#25FairTutor went through a nice little closed Beta, got a bunch of good feedback, had a good group of remote tutors interviewed and ready to go...
... and then I had a kid.
It's still that ready. I just need to kick myself back in to gear and find a couple spare weeks to re-interview a new crop of teachers, fix what needs fixing, and flip it live.
Any day now...

#27My side-project tries to improve NBA game recaps/box-scores by adding more context from analysing the play-by-play.
Click on a score to see an enhanced box-score. Click on a players name to see their game logs. Almost none of the links in the banner work, so it's clearly unfinished.
It started out (and remains) a way for me to learn Rails, as my career has been spent developing non-web software. I am desperately trying to put in enough hours (I average about 5 a week) to get it to an MVP state (e.g. all the links actually work). Keep in mind this is my first web project and I have no design background whatsoever (it shows).

#28http://reporeader.com is my first project built using Ember.js and Rails. The idea behind RepoReader is that it gathers events from your favourite open source projects (hosted at GitHub) and shows it in a "grouped" way so it should be easier to follow high traffic projects like Rails, Ember, etc.
At some point I just lost interest in that idea and now the project is living it's own life...

#30Well i have been working on the following project for some months whenever i manage to find spare time.
Between working 8 hours a day and playing professional basketball, time is hard to find.
www.fitorganizer.com It is a personal trainers appointment scheduler. It is still in early alpha stages, and i am working on making a better calendar at the moment ( which is open source on github ), adding hours and figuring what needs to go where is harder from what i thought it might have been.
The version on line is a bit old, as i havent updated it for a few months. My local one is much better and fixes several bugs, with a newer database design.
Feel free to break stuff.
