Since that last post about creating more audio software a year ago, here’s what I’ve built:
SigmaTizm - A virtual additive synthesizer.
SampliTron - A virtual sampler.
Song Length Finder - Lets you find songs in your music collection based on their length.
Genre Playlist Builder - Lets you generate music playlists by genre.
Vorbital Player 3 - Added .wav [...]

I haven’t written a single line of audio-related code since I stopped using C++ two years ago.
It’s not that you can’t write audio software with C#. It’s more that doing so would be more than unpleasant.
Since I’ve switched to Python as my primary language, I’m going to see what I can do with it [...]

My current project is figuring out how to build sites with Django. It’s a bit tough to get a handle on because it’s a moving target. I have a book based on a pre-1.0 version. There are plenty of tutorials and videos on pre-1.0, 1.0, and the current development version (1.1). [...]

I’ve spent the past couple days setting up an Ubuntu Server on VMWare. I’m building a development environment that I can use somewhere like Slicehost or Linode, and I want to get it set up so that it can run the 20 or so domains I have without chewing up all available resources.
There’s a [...]

I spent a couple days learning how to use the ASP.Net MVC framework and built a DMOZ-like link directory site as my first project. It’s online here:
VLACIS.com
The acronym is actually a backronym — I originally bought the domain for a large number of years when Yahoo was having a 99-cent domain sale. It was the [...]

Over the past few years I’ve been working on Basternae 3 off and on (as I have time and motivation). The 100,000 or so lines of code are a very handy sandbox for learning/trying new things.
After not working on it for six months or so, I’ve started tinkering again. It’s no coincidence that it’s getting [...]

Here are a couple screenshots of the stock charting application I’ve been working on (click to enlarge):
As you can see, I still have some minor layout issues to sort out as the graph is resized, but that’s easy enough.
So far, the main features include:
- Line, Bar, and Candlestick charts
- Download of historical stock data from [...]

I wrote an application to harvest historical stock data from Yahoo. It’s an interesting piece of homebrew and has allowed me to build up a database of 3 gigabytes of historical data so far using SQL Server Express 2008. Since Yahoo! data is specifically “for non-commercial use” I can’t exactly sell the database to anyone, [...]
