Just joined an open source project, a p2p client for eDonkey, and eventually bit torrent and others. It is an older project that went proprietary/closed-source and failed, and we're breathing new life into it starting with the old open source code base. We're about done cleaning it all up, and will start on new features soon. Completely in C#, and runs on .NET and Mono. Great project, great people, already members from all over the world. Check us out on sourceforge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/hathi/ Come see some real C# power in action, and join us in the fun! :-)

Slightly off the beaten track - I'm currently in a small developing country in Southeast Asia working on renewable energy projects for rural villages. I've been here for 4 months and am absolutely loving it... it's actually a satisfying use of an electrical engineering degree!

I'm working on a solution to unify all the major SCMs (ClearCase, Git, Perforce, Subversion, etc.) and abstract the data it in such a way that I can provide information that can be digested by all levels of an organization. I'm calling this my full spectrum tool as it's intended to be as useful for developers as it is for executives and everybody in between. Basically I'm trying to change how we communicate and acces…

Have you ever thought of open-sourcing it (or even parts of it)?

Now 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…

Do you mind if I pass your info to someone working on a similar, but more general framework? He is a fellow Lisper of mine and published a book on the subject as well. NYC based.

Cheers!

Besides YC, I've been working on Arc. (No writing lately. I can't seem to focus on more than 2 things at once, so it's always a choice of Arc xor essays.) Specifically, I've been trying to do things to Arc that will make News shorter. I'm running out of room, though: News is 1886 LOC, and it's rare now when I can find something that will cut as many as 5. So I'm going to try writing some other types of applications t…

Any thoughts yet on what other types of applications you'll be working on?

I'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 so…

I would expect nothing less fun from you Zak :-P
