A collection of old projects and experiments from my early days of programming. Most of these are from 2005–2007 when I was learning Cocoa and RealBASIC. They're here for nostalgia and as a reminder of where I started.

Cocoa

  • PanicSaver

    The screensaver that started it all. Well, really nothing. Oh well. This was my first cocoa program so it has in the neighborhood of 2000 memory leaks (for some reason I can't convince myself to go back and fix it).

RealBASIC

  • Name That iTune

    Actually, I kind of like this program. It copies the music quiz on the iPod. A good example of how to use AppleScripts with RB.

  • SearchMagic

    This is actually a pretty cool program. So cool in fact that I am rewriting it totally in cocoa. Download it and try it out. Imagine this with a very simple interface, XML plugins, and HTML plugins to customize the results.

  • FlameChat

    The result of a 3-day-long coding session. Total crap. Basically it is a client for this great Java chat server that Travis Goodspeed wrote. It supports a user list, chatting, group chat, and was in the process of implementing filesharing when I realized this client sucked.

  • inquisitor-clone

    A RealBASIC clone of David Watanabe's application that never made it out of the beta stage. I think it has some real potential so I am making a similar program called SearchMagic. See above.

  • OSnippetsNews

    A program that parses an online backend XML file to show the top news stories from osnippets.org. That website is gone, but this program is a good example of parsing XML...maybe.

  • Freq.

    The program that started it all (different from screensaver...). It counts the frequency of letters. Mess around with it, make it better. Whatever.

  • QuickSpell

    A neat little program that checks the spelling of a word on Google. Works with proper nouns and technology terms, stuff like that.
