My Life In Repos(e)
I realize that I often downplay my
github repos by
describing them as “toys” or “crap” and that I am selling myself short.
They are more like semi-public learning opportunities. I learn a lot from
each of them, even if I don’t
tweet about each success or failure
or write a blog post about it.
- callback (status: broken) is a simple persistent proxy.
It allowed me to learn that meteor does not work the
same way Rails does (which is obvious in hindsight, but I didn’t think of in
the few minutes it took to put the app together). I think that client-side
rendering in meteor (coming soon?) will allow me to solve the problem.
- follow the leader, a
Glympse-like app with location technology that will
soon be provided by default in iOS8.
- minesweeper could be fun to write and
make into a multiplayer game.
- geolocation and
geotest which were an attempt to extract
and demo the location-tracking code from follow the leader.

- I have the start of a meteor version
of my older poker calculator (which is
more up-to-date than the github repo of the same name)
- And my maze game was fun to write (and write about )
but needs a bit of an update. I look back at it and it seems that my porting of
original code to javascript was
a bit too literal - there are some improvements I can make. If they work, maybe I’ll backport the fix to ruby and do a pull request.
