Code

Code consumes a disproportionately large amount of my time and brain. I don’t know why I’m addicted, I guess it’s just feels good to make things happen exactly how you want them to. And if you want to get philosophical, perhaps all programming is just moving society towards human-computer symbiosis. Heck, we’re almost there already.

Anyway, here are the main projects I’m working on right now:

• Brain Dump – the structure of a wiki is intriguingly close to that of the mind…
• Wikimap – a way to visualize the web of links in wikipedia.
• PHPskeleton – a simple PHP web application framework.

I know the names are lame, but programmers would rather write code than think up good names…

Right now I’m into back end web design (PHP, SQL), with a little front end mixed in (HTML, CSS, JS), but in the past I’ve worked a lot in Flash (ActionScript) and Processing (Java). Maybe I’ll put that stuff up sometime, but not much of it is really worth it. All necessary steps in my evolution, though.
