Some Software Projects

None of the following projects were done for clients or with other developers. They were all done independently because I love coding. I'm proud of them for their good concepts and technical craftsmanship, not necessarily for what's readily apparent on the surface or because they're popular. Some have been running rock-solidly for years with no need for fixes. If you're interested in and understand programming, have a look; if not, then probably none of this will be meaningful.

democracy

A Merkle DAG collaboration and decision tool that uses Node.js and the Web Crypto JavaScript API.

mumon

A single sign-on solution (written in Java) that can tell a relying party (RP) that a user the RP knows about is signed in with an originating user agent without revealing anything about the user's account to the RP or requiring the RP to be known to the system. It runs (with nginx acting as a reverse proxy) on a smoking-fast general-purpose NIO-based server I wrote. With massive per-core localhost ApacheBench concurrency like ab -n 10000 -c 1000, which usually brings Apache's own httpd to its knees, the server runs about 50% faster than Netty.

the site you're looking at (and its framework)

This site is built on top of the PHP parameterizable nested view loader, CCViews, which I wrote and released under the open-source Apache License because I was doing some projects for a company that used—the dramatically pointless—CakePHP. It also uses my Google-friendly dynamic navigation system (see 'other things...'), and an intuitive javascript 'drifter' that can navigate over a dynamically pre-fetched rectangular tile set with a theoretical size limit of at least 90,000 square miles at 100px/inch (see home, and note: no scroll bars).

centripetal taxation

Centripetal taxation in action, using the HTML5 canvas API.

throughput

My ISP's throughput over the years —using a java client-server socket pair, with a PHP, javascript, and canvas front end.
