I'm fixing the sorry state of Esperanto online dictionaries. My system allows the user to use any of the major writing systems, tolerates spelling errors and even does some stemming and morphology analysis. It's been interesting because this has never been done before (AFAIK).

#152Currently working on synchronising information across a wide area network when the updates are streaming in to all machines from various sources. Application is soft real-time and semi-safety-critical.
Also working on an alternative to the (extended/unscented/whatever) Kalman Filter the better to detect and track fast moving objects in cluttered environments.
Also working on
+ a web site for my local math association
+ write-up of a 1800 dimensional optimisation problem
+ write-up of a variant data structure
+ write-up of P vs NP
+ write-up of a real-world example of a fold catastrophe
+ finishing the analysis of the routines people sent me ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1404347 )
I've also got a dozen other projects mothballed, ready to be re-started when the time is right.
But this week I'm mostly organising the MathsJam weekend. We've got 60 paid-up delegates and now 20 submitted talks. We can accommodate 120 people (and possibly stretch to 150) and need 30 to 40 talks. Money comes in, contracts to sign, people to cajole, all in the name of a weekend of fun.
Hope it works ...

#155I'm selling the majority of my stuff and prepping my condo for sale. I expect my employer to go out of business soon and I have to leave the USA once that happens (my work permit is non-transferable and the green card application didn't work out).
Curious to know (and for entirely selfish reasons) what classification of work permit is non-transferable?

#157For the lack of a better word: I'm building better forum software. It's something that teams and organizations will find useful for general communication, idea exchange, even light project management.
We're testing the app at the moment in–house, hoping to get to private beta before December.

#159I'm working on a logicless & valueless templating system in ruby that also has work going on for java and eventually python. In the process of using it to see how the idea shakes out and getting examples that people can learn from in the process.
Also working on a version of Smalltalk that runs on the jvm.
