builds things.

recent

marian: a civilized tiny full text search server in pure JS. dirichlet+ relevancy mixed with HITS link analysis for authority, porter2 stemming
snooty: hella' fast reStructuredText-based documentation tool. mostly for internal use, but darn cool

terrain generator: toy JS terrain generator I wrote in college using domain-warped noise. bonus: I also ported it to run in a fragment shader
The Spark's Story: a story I wrote in college in a week or something. It's not great. I need to write moar

it's steampunk. sorry. it was 2012
Haiku Password Hashing: I replaced the Haiku OS password hashing implementation, previously traditional DES, with scrypt()
OpenRA Pathfinding Fast Fail: I added a fast fail to OpenRA's pathfinding. On map load, the world is split into a set of domains based on traversability for each movement class. If a pathing request's source and destination locations belong to different domains, the pathfinder can immediately abort instead of scanning every cell

A beautiful commission of me by the astonishingly talented G Pike. It's a Triton sub! Building a submarine is very high on my bucket list.
Fumi does great work!! I firmly believe that octoskunks will rule the world.
The first commission I ever got! I gave Ritwell very vague direction, and he knocked it out of the park!
Doodle commission by the wonderful Tygerwolfe!
