Survive and Save
tabstore: very simple program to store URLs just by title and date. Finch but even simpler. Intended just for letting me clear out browser tabs quickly.
simple android app (now I can write one in Go) that has examples of my artwork compiled in. Just a basic interface to swipe through them. Solves the problem of how do I explain to someone I’ve just met at a bar or conference what kind of art I do without having them pull up a web browser.
dialectic view of software engineering
- starts out ad hoc/informal (thesis)
- everyone gets burned
- react by moving to extreme formalism, waterfall model (antithesis)
- result is slow and cumbersome, inflexible
- move to agile processes where flexibility is formalized (synthesis)
simple dist file store app
- essentially Tahoe w/out encryption, reticulum w/out resize
- N nodes, no master
- immutable only (no delete)
- POST file
- calculates hash
- chunks file, calc hash of each chunk
- make manifest listing chunks
- write manifest + chunks to nodes by DHT w/ desired replication (copy manifest to all nodes?)
- return hash as location
- GET file
- retrieve manifest
- get all chunks + reassemble
- return file
- stick with HTTP for retrieval or try btsync?
daily task/chore tracker (seinfeld style)
password manager app w/ riak backend (GPG encrypt text going in)
checklist builder app:
- start from a template
- make “instance”, customize, add/remove
- simple UI to go through it
commandline tool for PMT
go-based BDD/acceptance testing tool. gherkin syntax + selenium.
done as web app. one database of scenarios, one database of rules for processing those rules.
tickler app: textbox and date picker. enter some text, pick a date. when that date comes up, it emails the text back to you. (ie, based on GTD tickler file)
