So many news posts, so few people talking about what they are doing. What website are you working right now?

I just finished building this for a client: http://sftheaterbuzz.org/

It's a little sad because there are no reviews yet...but I don't think he's had time to promote it yet.

I like this site. Question: I can't tell from the source if you are using a CMS of any kind or if this is custom developed in Django or similar. Care to reveal what you used?
[+] jlgosse|16 years ago|reply
That, is awesome.

That's cool, I'm working on a 'buzz' site as well for the edinburgh festivals, though we're doing some AI magic to pull in crowdsourced reviews and classify them with star ratings. It's jolly good fun, though working with thesps is doing my head in.

(No URL 'cos it ain't finished yet!)

I like the look of this site. Who did the visual design/graphics?

Just in my spare time, but working on a subway/train route finder for the Tokyo trains

http://trains.jp/

There are others out there, but trying to make one that is super easy to use. Still very much a work in progress, but any feedback would be appreciated!

How on earth did you nail that domain name? .jp must be virgin lands!

I'm working on an app to track work orders for a client. Not exactly riveting, but it's my first real gig and it feels really good to get paid to program.

Interactive map of United States midcontinent onshore oil and natural gas wells: http://hydrocarbon.search.eser.org/

Used for identifying infill drilling locations.

Updated daily with new well locations.

Working on adding Canada, shale plays, and Gulf of Mexico offshore wells.

Using Memcached on Amazon EC2 + openlayers + Google WGS84 tiles.

Just finished building an iPhone app that is awaiting Apple's approval now: http://www.pinglater.com/

We're doing a 1 day web app event this weekend, so I'll be able to share more about everyone's apps soon!

Module called Boost for Drupal. http://drupal.org/project/boost In short it's a poormans-squid/poormans-varnish; it creates a html cache for dynamic pages. It's fairly sophisticated, going to have it support the caching of AJAX JSON in the near future; among other things.

After years of writing Manufacturing, Retail and Financial Backend/Middleware, I'm working on the following exclusively (for better or worse).

Maintaining Version 2.x & Building the All New Version (3.0) of http://www.inkedmag.com

Continuing the build of Version 2.x of http://www.surfacemag.com

and soon to be working on a brand new Version 2.x of http://www.tokion.com (currently a simple set of splash pages)

All for publishers in NYC. I do so wish they would acquire a technical journal, or some form of academics research journal(s). Fashion & Sub Cultures are interesting for those in said cultures but it doesn't mean that I wouldn't find more scholarly/research minded content/environments more interesting.

It tracks your friends' favorites on Twitter, and suggests interesting people for you to follow based on favorites and your social network structure.

Building a noise filter for Twitter: http://www.philtro.com

Very very interesting.

If it's not supposed to be secret, how does it work? Does it look for similarity of what you like or does it weight people in your feed and just skip x% of tweets from heavy low-value tweeters?
