Pet Projects

I've listed some of the software 'pet projects' I've worked on over the years...

• An implementation of a simple blackjack game in java. I did this for an interview at a big software company... It got me in the door at least :)
• A nifty grep-like tool that I wrote in .NET as a replacement for grep. Not quite grep, but at least I don't have to have cygwin installed.
• Some powershell code
• I explored using ShellExecute to pop open a file in a gvim --remote session.
• At one time I was investigation the strategy pattern. Here is some .NET code I wrote while figuring it out.
• I got tired of how long it takes to recurse a directory structure in powershell/.NET, so I wrote svn_update to search a folders structure recursively using the Win32 API functions directory, and then used ShellExecute to start an 'svn update' process on folders that had a '.svn' hidden folder in it.
• The .NET tool I use to parse and format my personal time tracking
• Debugging webservices can be a real pain. I wrote the webservicetest tool to make it easy to specify and change the soap message to the server using a text file, and then store the soap response in a text file.
• greasemonkey userscripts
