I worked on TurboVar EmailBroker, a self hosted email sender application that lets you send emails via 5 popular email API service providers.

With TurboVar EmailBroker you can use a concise and uniform API to send emails using REST requests. If you prefer no-code, you can use a Web UI page.

It was launched this week. Check it at https://turbovar.com/turbovar/emailbroker.jsp

Feeback is welcomed!

Practicing bluegrass mandolin, adjunct teaching, and running online classes for my commercial drone school. NOT programming.

Awesome to see what other people have been doing. I have been getting more familiar with common-lisp and emacs / slime. Specifically using those tools to build a website to track the books that I have read, with the reviews and ratings that I've given them, so my sister and I can keep track of each other's reading lists.

Sort of like goodreads minus the blatant marketing.

I have been doing a daily blog to track the return of sports since my startup is in sports and sports are toast right now - https://wherearesports.com/

Feeling a kindred spirit with all my startup friends in the travel, hospitality and live event space.

I've been trying to learn about AR by making some kind of tool to let people understand social distancing (sort of took a break from this). The other thing I am trying to do is make music using Logic Pro X.

For Bind9 named.conf configuration file, I’ve been working on Vim syntax highlighter.

873 rules, so far. And 99% done. Arguably Vim’s largest syntax file to-date.

Best part? It highlights RED if you type the configuration wrong. As well as TODO, FIXME and nested 3-style comments

I have built a rust based version of the 2048 game which runs in the terminal. The most interesting and fun part is the small AI that I implemented and which can be used to play automatically. It's nothing very new, but I enjoyed crafting this small game in the most elegant and efficient way I could.

A web based vector drawing program for dynamic visualizations inspired by Bret Victor [1]. Think adobe illustrator + excel... every property on an object can be a reactive mathematical expression with data and object dependencies. Data changes -> property value changes -> rendering changes. I'm pretty excited about the possibilities here!

I started Vim syntax highlighter for NFTABLES configuration file.

A work in progress.

I know I’m good for it because I’ve successfully Vim-syntaxed the vaunted 873-rule Bind9 named.conf file over at https://github.com/egberts/vim-syntax-bind-named
