#92No code to show, but I'm working on a one-off remote controller for pole cameras for an indie filmmaker. It should enable "aerial" shots like the pros, but at a small fraction of the cost. Version 1 is in testing.

#93Right now (please call me on this sometime, it'd help me) I'm working on a clone of Burp, the industry standard web penetration testing tool, in Cocoa. I started with RubyCocoa, but I've ditched it for Objective C. It is (surprisingly) liberating to work in C after spending a year in Ruby; any time something looks expensive or naive, you just tell yourself, "what I'm doing here can't possibly be more expensive than w…
Never had I felt more like I was tricking software into doing what I want to do than when I was trying to use Peach. I mean Michael's a nice guy, but you email the peachfuzz list or him personally on issues you're having and he convinces you that it's you not using the tool correctly and that you really don't want the feature you're asking. Modifying code was hellish because it's just thousands of lines of kludge, wr…
I'm planning on wiring Ruckus into Hexfiend, so you can highlight hex characters Ethereal-style and using CSS selectors from packet formats.
I don't know what I'm going to do with the Burp clone, but if you ask me for it, I'll hand it over. =)

I'd like to take a look at the burp clone, not sure if I'll contribute.
Do you want help on wiring to hexfiend?

#95Two projects. One is scraping and indexing data on corporations registered in tax havens, mainly for the purpose of helping transparency researchers follow the activities and connections of businessmen, politicians, etc. I've done Panama, and am now working on a couple of others: http://ohuiginn.net/panama http://www.ohuiginn.net/mt/2008/12/opening_up_a_tax_haven.ht... The second project is building a decent interfac…
Those are both great ideas. Please consider a donate doohickey for each project. I would gladly contribute to both.

#96Handcoded XPath-like scriptlet interpreter for JDI and it's UI as eclipse plugin. Now giving finishing touches.

#97Ventrilo tracker: http://www.ventstatus.com
Another Ventrilo tracker, but this one allows people to search for usernames, games played, etc. Also can generate a timeline of past users online.

Wouldn't it be better to modify an existing, popular language to support this feature?
It would be better, but I want to do some cool things that I'm not sure if I can support in an existing language. One thing is automatically preserving state across a reload. This is really hard if I allow the programmer to store state any way that they want- I can't tell which things I should preserve. So the language forces the programmer to declare their stateful things in a special way. Another thing is introspec…
sounds like you should look at haskell for a few design ideas about reifying state

You're my hero now. Mining financial disclosures is right at the top of my list of projects that need doing.

I just used RubyCocoa, but I haven't done much of the UI stuff yet. My contact info's in my profile, though.
