A collection of random things I've been working on:
Malice Afterthought is the new home of my software projects-- primarily because the space for software stuff on http://ussjoin.com was getting too crowded. One of the effects of this move is to give my software projects (particularly stuff like "look at the new MT plugin I just finished") their own blog and update stream-- so head on over there if you're interested. (In related news, I did just do another MT plugin, this one for http://blip.tv, so go grab it if you're interested.)
I've been working hard on Mnikr Prime, which is now up and doing some neat things. It's certainly not done-- or particularly polished-- yet, but go have a look around if you're interested in the project. It is dynamically creating internet Identities, which I think is pretty neat, and I'm working on making sure it gets the Action Stream data live and up-to-date (made more complex by nasty things like Twitter suddenly throttling me, hard, as well as one incident involving running my Linode completely out of memory-- my fault, but it reacted amusingly badly). When I get the next phase-- the reputation server-- online, I'll write more about it here; I may update in the meantime at Malice Afterthought.
I'm in a fun course on Algorithms for Sensor-Based Robotics, which is pretty far afield from my usual work, but counts as the math-like credit I need to graduate (Master's students need two "Analysis" courses in CS, among other things). The only reason I mention this is that since we're doing simulator work, I end up with shiny movies that people can watch and enjoy (and laugh at, as my robots make comic mistakes). They're over at http://ussjoin.blip.tv.
Yes, I gave up on the posting every day thing, just a few days into it-- mostly because it wasn't going well (I get boring even to me if I post that often). No, I don't regret dropping it. :-)
Lastly, I'll be attending TransparencyCamp this upcoming weekend in Washington, D.C.; I really enjoyed the last unconference I attended, and I hope this one will be interesting as well; a very different structure than the highly scheduled BlackHat, but I think each can be good.
Some rights reserved, but not all of them, as that's rude. Design courtesy of, well, me.
