Builder for this site.

I am experimenting with different ways to build this site. I know the last thing the world needs is another content system, but I'm doing this to get insight into how they work, not make something for production.

Open Moko Freerunner

I picked one of these up earlier in the year and quite like it. It has not ousted my sony erricson P800 yet as my primary phone. But it might one day.

Because I run a 64bit os and the flash util for the open moko only runs in 32bit I have to use a chroot enviroment.sudo mount -o bind /dev /ubuntu32/devsudo mount -t proc none /path/procsudo chroot /path /bin/bash

Altitude

What happens when you train at sea level and compete at 3000m? What do you do to train for Mt Everest (8,848 meters above sea level) in a country that peaks out at 2228 meters? This is a cool project involving web interfaces, touch screens, ducting, motors, networking, solenoids, embedded control the works.

ClubInABox

A tool to help with the running of a club, with the design target being the Canberra Linux user group.Where and when are we meeting? What are we talking about next week? Where are the slides from the talk two months back? This is a project thought up after a programmer Sig with the intent of making running clubs easier and more efficient. Such high hopes, now if I can only get off my butt and contribute more to this one.

Gymaware

Monitors the output of an athlete doing a range of over 200 exercises in the gym.Palm OS C, embedded arm C, Python, Objective C, XML, SQL. So many parts just to tell you that you out did that guy next to you.

Modbus RTU

An implementation of the Modbus industrial control protocol in python.This was the first project I did for Kinetic. Used more in every system we build.

Kinetic Athlete

Record Detailed information about athletes over their career. Are they getting sick? Have they recovered from that sprain? Are they just having a bad day or are they really a bad athlete? This ones about collecting info from players to build up long term trends.

Report Engine

An xslt based layout tool used to generate both pdf and html versions of reports. Uses a custom xml page layout language krml (pronounced caramel), populates the templates, converts them to xsl-fo then from there to both html and through Apache Fop to pdf.
