Projects...

I always have a side project I'm working on. It could be anything from brewing a new awesome homebrew recipe to some sort of adventure. Here is a partial list of some of my online projects.

U7Radio.org
This project was started as a means to automate a shoutcast net radio station. There are several different scripts and software packages out there but none of them seemed to be to robust. This site is my attempt. Unfortunately your not going to see the kick ass control panel where you schedule shows and whatnot. The site is currently operating 3 streams with the ability to relay multiple streams for increased capacity. It operates 24/7 with a different show each day of the week. The site/station is completely automated now. The automation includes automatically changing shows based on a pre-defined schedule, sending a tweet to twitter when a new show starts. I simply make adjustments to the playlists from time to time.

SEX HAIR
Sex Hair is a comedy web video series about an up and comming band. An air band that thinks they are real rock stars. Season 1 will follow the band as they work up to compete in the town's battle of the bands contest. The winning band receives a brand spankin new tour bus to haul around the band's air equipment. Directed and produced by local independent filmaker Randy Shadowwalker this is turning into a really fun project. Season 1 is set to start airing in 22 7 minute segments in late summer 2009.

Rememberly.com
I needed a sms reminder service that was reliable, I was using Yahoo Calendar but it seems like I only got my reminders half of the time. So in the course of a few hours I was able to build my own with a lot more features. One of these days I'm going to throw a web front end on it and it's going to live here:

RankMyServer.com
This project was started as a hobby, more of a technical experiment really in October 2007. The site tracks and ranks the game servers of a half dozen or so Open Source games. The site went up under the name TopServers and ran itself. I realized it was getting a lot of traffic and decided to revamp it and give it it's own domain name (instead of the subdomain it was hosted on).

Trepidation
Trepidation is an open source first person shooter based on the Quake III engine, I founded and am the lead developer on the project. The project is on a bit of hiatus as we all have ran into other commitments that have kept us from developing it further. Downloads are still available though.

Beer-Garden
Another gaming site. Unfortunately I don't have a lot of time to play games, The beer-garden hosts a handful of servers for various open source games and has a thriving community .

More?!
Aside from what is listed here, I run a handful of other sites, write and maintain several open source game modifications for several games and have several ongoing projects in the works. My blog or my twitter feed is a good place to keep up on these things. .
