geekery
Some geeky projects that I'm involved with.
perl stuff
- My CPAN modules
- nms
Web programs to replace the ones from Matt's Script Archive
local stuff
I've been trying to build up some local communities by aggregating content that might be of interest to them. You can see what I'm doing at The Planetarium.
Most of my efforts are concentrated on Balham (as that's where I live).
I'm also trying to get even more local with a site for my road - but that's really new.
political stuff
- Planet Westminster attempts to aggregate all MPs' blogs
- Political Web is intended to be one site which has links to all web sites about each MP in Parliament - still very much a work in progress
ubiquity
- I've written a couple of Ubiquity commands
bbc streams
Several years ago I wrote something that scraped the BBC radio web site and created a directory of all of their "listen again" streams. These days, the directory is still there but it looks a bit moribund - and anyway the Radio iPlayer does it far better.
news feeds
I built a directory of UK news feeds. It's a bit out of date now, and many newspapers seem to change the address of their web feeds monthly, making the job far harder than it needs to be. And the Guardian now produces a ridiculous number of feeds - so I'm not sure if it's worth keeping it up to date
emacs
- An emacs mode for the Template Toolkit
github
The source code to most of these projects will be found in my github account. Feel free to play with it - but please let me know if you do anything cool with it.
