A free ear training and music theory software http://www.trainear.com/ that few people use because no one cares about ear training and music theory
I've used it, it rules. jimmyr.com is pretty cool too, used to be my homepage.

#62Working my day job at http://recursive.com.au
Current side project is http://twitterscribe.com, an archive for your tweets that exports in PDF and CSV. (Yes, another Twitter-related app.) I have some things like OAuth to integrate, then we're going to publish custom books of your tweets.
Hopefully that'll bring in a bit of money, then I can move on to one of the other ideas - either my "tag the world" location database, or a "social networking inspired" enterprise intranet. I'm thinking the second has a better chance.

#63I'm working on newer and better software for controlling stage and club lighting. It's still in the early stages, so the final form of the product(s) isn't clear to me yet. A likely initial release will be aimed at the club market, currently dominated by Martin LightJockey since a decent offering there won't require any custom hardware.
I'm using Haskell and functional reactive programming. I intend to expose some sort of programming language (probably graphical) to the user so they can extend the effects engine[0] in ways I probably haven't thought of. Internally, I'm going for a very abstract design so I can build several types of control interface on top of one core.
[0] To oversimplify a bit, effects engines in lighting controllers allow the application of functions of time to any of several attributes of an automated light. A simple example would be a sine wave applied to tilt to make it swing back and forth.

#64I spend most of my time working at http://www.directsupplycareers.com/careers/ (if your thinking about applying I can refer so drop me a line) and I spend the rest of my time working on a maps/weather mashup.
Until I go to school that is then I split my time between them.

My wife is a beginning fiddler and currently uses www.learntohear.com. [She cares a great deal about ear training and music theory.] She likes how your site lets you choose songs that correspond to specific intervals.

#67Now for something completely different... I've been working on a global model of epidemic spreading for about a year now (the project was actually started about 3 years ago). The idea is to be able to forecast the progression of the disease across the globe as in where it will hit next, how many cases, there will be, the efficacy of possible governmental interventions, etc... (think weather forecast for disease sprea…
So, what are you predicting for the future?

#68I'm doing a NSF `Research Experiences for Undergraduates' thing at school... the project is trying to help out with an optimizing compiler for Linear Algebra kernels.
For a personal project I've been working on compiling Scheme to JVM bytecode; I'm fixing bugs in my syntax-rules implementation right now. My code isn't so great but I'm hopefully learning a lot!

thanks for checking it out. if you guys have any questions feel free to contact me. the songs are the main benefit. I couldn't master the higher intervals until i associated songs

H1N1/A seems to be taking over seasonal flu in the southern hemisphere. Chances are that if you get the flu over the next 6-9 months, it will be H1N1/A. What this means in terms of actual number of cases and fatalities depends on the rate of mutation and how quickly the vaccine becomes available.
