Projects
Here's what I am working on...
- cloudheap - If you haven't heard me talking about cloud services, have no worries. I'm sure I'll bore you to death soon. Here you'll find a collection of cloud services that I'm reviewing, testing, and feeling out. cloudheap will eventually be something more -- a software product perhaps -- but for now will remain a repository. Feel free to contribute.
- getmybits - I haven't started this project yet. In fact this is going to be my senior project for my B.S. in computer science. Essentially getmybits will be a cloud backup solution -- relying on applications and services listed in my cloudheap project to backup. I'd really love to address the cloud computing "security question" with this endeavor, but I don't know that it will be feasible in the 4 months I have to complete my senior project. Part of this will be to open-source the project after it is presented to the senior project committee. This means that my releasable application plus all the related documentation will be available to all. So check back around May of 2009 for more details.
- opensourcepolity - I've halted this effort for now. This was basically supposed to be an application of open-source ideals (community) to American democracy and politics - inspired in part by Al Gore's The Assault on Reason and Barack Obama's The Audacity of Hope. It was running on an installation of MediaWiki that seemed like it was always in need of updating and a constant target for relentless link spammers. To save myself time and headaches, I took the site down and have redirected it to here until I decide what to do with it. If you're interested in the domain, you're welcome to contact me and we can work something out. I'll probably keep renewing the domain just in case I think of a way to relaunch this idea.
