The projects I'm eventually going to return to are the following:
* Data analysis for a property search engine.
* Build some demonstrations for an engineering course I'm going to teach.
* (Longer term) Try to tie brain perfusion data to brain health, and hence predict dementia onset.
A blog post about it recently hit the front page of HN: http://juretriglav.si/an-open-distributed-search-engine-for-...
130 people have installed the extension and my server has churned through 100+ GB of data in the past three days, so I'm having scaling/performance issues right off the bat, which is great. Just today we made significant performance improvements (10x) to the underlying webrtc-chord DHT implementation: https://github.com/tsujio/webrtc-chord/issues/6
It's a whole lot of fun developing this :) If anyone cares about this stuff, I'm always happy to discuss!
My first tool is called Webcam Blocker Pro which protects your audio and video inputs.

I got frustrated with Dockerfiles and wanted a similar means of building complex deployments without the declarative complexity of puppet and chef. It's taken off a fair amount in my company since the syntax is so easy to learn and the module level so quick to grasp. There's also a UI :)
Trying to build a low-cost ($4-$5k retail) mobile robotic platform to function as a robot butler.

Next time you're using poor hotel wifi or you're frustrated with skype (e.g. multiple disconnects per hour), try PhoneCard for a high-quality call. PhoneCard can call most places in the world, and in some countries you can also purchase incoming nu…

This could be huge. I've tried using Skype and Viber when talking to people in different countries and they are absolutely terrible in terms of audio quality.
PhoneCard doesn't even require a smartphone, so you get that much more flexibility.
