I'm working on an experimental semantic web browser for Android called Mosembro. The point of the project is to show that semantic meta data can be used to make some tasks much less painful to perform while using a mobile web browser.

I'm working on an interactive fiction framework with a web framework flavour. It's my first Ruby project and depends on Shoes for cross-platform UI. Defining rooms, items, and non-player characters is done in YAML.

I'm about midway through the project and, as a test and demo for the platform, am converting the 1978 game "Pirate Adventure" to the framework. Once the framework is done my partner and I plan to use it to create an adventure game based on the fashion world. This will inevitably lead to a movie deal and untold riches.

All in all, it has been fun, educational, and a nice break from my day job wrangling Drupal.

The code (so far) lives here:

I'm actually looking for a new name for my project, so maybe someone here will have a good idea? It's a framework for writing, running and analyzing simulations. It could take any kind of simulation: Physics, game theory, epidemic spread, electronics, whatever. It's in Python. This is where it currently lives: http://github.com/cool-RR/physicsthing/tree/master (Keep in mind it's still a very young project) The readme…

Prism would be cool, although Mozilla already has something with that name.

I'm working on a programming language that has builtin support for reloading code at runtime. It'll also support various ways of modifying code at runtime, like with visual interfaces. The primary usage is for making interactive graphical apps, like games. Intro is here: http://andyfischer.github.com/circa/intro.html code is here: http://github.com/andyfischer/circa/tree/master

I've prototyped a similar concept in Perl (still a bit rough). I think this is a powerful concept.

Wouldn't it be better to modify an existing, popular language to support this feature?
