Project Graveyard

Leonardo da Vinci once said: “Art is never finished, only abandoned.” Alas, it applies to pretty much everything.

Code

zippysnippy — Console app for managing "snippets" of data that you want to read again at a later date. Kindof like SuperMemo, but for unixes and without the concept of “clozes.” I swear, one day this will get a proper release. Unfortunately I have 2759 snippets waiting to be read, first!
Kakuro Solver — Python tools for playing with Kakuro puzzles. I still plan to finish these, some day. The solver is currently quite fast, better than most of the other Python implementations I looked at.
Adminfuncs and Tipfy Support — Some code which takes a file full of Python functions and makes a nice "admin" interface out of it with buttons, fields, and a console area. Originally used with Conquer-on-Contact. It works, although I haven't polished it up enough for a serious release.
Alpach History — Retrospective of my early teen years playing on the web and making some Mac Classic software.
Alpach Archive — An archive of one of the incarnations of the website.
profilehooks-gae — A fork of profilehooks which works in AppEngine's restricted execution environment. I forget exactly where it was violating them.
App Engine Tests — For checking API-CPU cost associated with various operations on Google App Engine.

Intro to Microprocessor Power Management — Slides for a talk on power management I gave in a seminar class. Overview of speed and sleep states, the ski-rental problem, and a concept called the critical speed.
FreeBSD Power Management — Slides, Project Report — Modifying FreeBSD's powerd (dynamic frequency/voltage scaling daemon) to run in the kernel for better responsiveness.
NFS EC2 Performance — Code to fire up a bunch of EC2 instances and see how well different NFS configurations perform between them.
py-thread-tools and docs — A stab at implementing some of the Java tools in Modern Multithreading for Python. As usual, I underestimated the scope of the problem.
Caching Peer — Some Java thing made for a networking class. Not very interesting.
