Elixir library, named Ashliah, to parse the IEX-TP protocol[0]. IEX-TP is the protocol that the Investor's Exchange uses. I plan to utilize that to create a service to sell real time stock data.

My other is an Amazon affiliate site that has lists of 4+ star amazon programming books[1]. I'm constantly adding more books and languages to it.

Finally, I'm working on my Elixir library that generates Ecto models from an existing database table called Plsm[2]. It currently supports MySQL and Postgres

Elodie - An EXIF-based photo, video and audio workflow automation tool

https://github.com/jmathai/elodie

I've been working on Elodie for over a year. It's organized over 15,000 of my personal photos and videos for me. It's also helped me craft a hands-free backup system.

I've written pretty extensively about it so I'll just link to those posts.

I had been wanting a web app where I could quickly open GPX, KML, and KMZ files to see them on a map. I use it to look at hikes, and some KML files from some experimental mapping tools I've worked with in the past.

This is the result: http://87.is/mapspray/ . There are sample files on this page that can be shown.

The main unique feature of this project is the handling of KML file styles above what is preserved by i.e. converting them into geojson. Since it serves my needs I've ran out of steam on it and it will probably remain incomplete for the forseeable future.

This weekend I'm hoping to compile and install a simple Gear VR project w/ Unity. I got all the tooling installed yesterday but haven't had a chance to open it yet. The goal is to get a simple "hello world" level application installed on my phone.

We will see how far I get on that.
