iTunesWeb

iTunesWeb is a simple, web-browser control for iTunes running locally on an Apple Mac.

It can be used to control your iTunes while sitting at your computer, at a computer in another room, or even over your handheld (an iPaq 1945 in my case).

To install, you need to configure PHP to run on your system (link forthcoming). Then put this folder in your /Library/Webserver/Documents folder and browse to http://localhost/iTunesWeb/itunes.php.

Download the iTunesWeb Package

SpyTrack

SpyTrack originally started as a means to see who was online where in the world in the SpyMac community. This is completed through geolocation, determining a user's geographical location (latitude & longitude) by the IP address they are connected to. Give it a try here

Since then, I have grown it to provide a graphical display of any information. For example:

  • Geographic location of photographs
  • Location of Instant Messaging buddies, online community, etc.
  • Location of shops, stores, restaurants, sites, etc.
All with one interface. A sample screenshot of the current work in progress:

Geolocation

Read my article: Geolocation by IP-Address, published in the Linux Journal for more information on this project.

Geolocation Menulet

Based on my work and demonstration of Geolocation by IP-Address, I've made a small menulet for Mac OS X that sits in your status bar and displays the determined geographic location of your computer based on its IP-Address. This is a work in progress (want to add more features), but it's a good demo to start.

CocoaDive

Or some other silly name - not sure yet. Current progress: Got vyper link (available from LinuxDiving.org below) to sync and grab my Suunto Cobra. However, currently the output is in UDCF (Universal Dive Computer Format). Need to determine how best to parse this using expat or some other XML library and readable into a Cocoa Application. Also currently working on the prototype GUI.

Open-SESSAME

The Open-Source, Extensible Spacecraft Simulation And Modeling Environment (Open-SESSAME) is a collection of libraries, toolkits, and extension points that provide a framework for creating and analyzing spacecraft models of varying complexity. The framework is open-source, so users can examine and modify the source code without worrying about copyrights or proprietary information. The collection of tools also includes other open-source projects that already include a broad user support base. The framework is extensible by allowing users the ability to provide added functionality and models and propagate these extensions back to the user community through a publicly hosted repository.
