Welcome
Welcome to my official webspace here at RPI. Unforunatly I'm limited to HTML and Javascript, so you won't see any very fancy here. I suggest you check out the links on the left to really find out what I'm doing. There is a low chance that this page is a completely accurate represenatation of what I'm doing just because its not something I can automatically update.
Concerto
Concerto has been the biggest project I've worked on as of late. The goal is to provide an easy means of advertising and distributing information through a unified digital signage system. Currently we've developed on a very strong web interface to the system, coded in PHP, to easily allow users to upload images, pdfs, text, html, and other content types to the system. Each screen exists as an individual entity, uniquely subscribing to groups of content (we call those groups "feeds"). When rev 2 of this project gets to a public state I'll pass a link along. Of couse this is open source so its only a matter of time before you can download it.
Shuttle Tracking
I continue work on Shuttle Tracking here at RPI. This was the first project I worked on here at RPI, after "hacking" my way into it. I've now added a shuttle arrival prediction system which can be accessed via phone or the web. When the links are finalized I'll include them too!. You can find the current system running here: http://shuttles.rpi.edu/. The Google Maps API is heavily used to do just about everything, its a handy tool to check if a shuttle is coming your way here at RPI.
ViewTracker
Over Winter brreak (2007) I wrote an OS X widget, ViewTracker. ViewTracker provides a simple and clean interface to see how many hits your YouTube videos have gotten. ViewTracker is in the Apple Widget directory here, and also listed on Softpedia here. You can find the specifics on ViewTrackers website, http://www.brispace.net/viewtracker.
StudentDev
Last year it became clear to me that RPI lacks decent web hosting. The site your looking at is about it, static HTML. I would like to make this site a little fancier but the fact is I just can't without some crazy HTML generating perl scripts. In response I started StudentDev aka MyRPI-Space. The server provides free web development space to RPI students. So far its gone over pretty well, there are over 250 users of the service, hosting close to 300 websites, the service averages 99.9% uptime which is pretty good considering its hosted on campus. Feel free to check it out, but only RPI students can sign up. http://studentdev.union.rpi.edu
