Inspired by a recent thread regarding the lack of community feel, etc... I decided to start this thread so those who want to reconnect withing the community could chime in about their recent projects and/or events in their lives.

As for me... I've been mainly pre-occupied with family life... chasing my 1 year old around the house and getting ready for #2 to arrive in August. I have a new employer, yet still work for the same DoD contract. I was employed by three different companies in the span of 2 months, mainly due to following better benefits and a higher salary. I've also been addicted to Xbox Live, particularly Call of Duty 4, so most of my "free time" I waste away gaming.

As far as projects go, here is what I have been up to recently...

1 ) Using C++, I'm trying to streamline a home surveillance system that is derived from the camstream program. Getting it to record video when the motion detectors outside light up the night, then to go dormant when the lights go off. Already setup scripts to upload the most recent snapshot from the survelliance to apache so I can monitor it from the web. Really looking for a way to pan and tilt the camera using some web based interface.

2) Working on a system backup program written in Perl.

3) Using C#, working on image analysis and comparisons from images taken from the surveillance system mentioned above.

4) Using PHP to tie into a userid and password management system to provide a user authentication API to an Oracle based web application.

5) Due to being diagnosed with high blood pressure I am writing a blood pressure monitoring program using C#. I already wrote a web based app for this using PHP with a MySQL backend.

6) Creating a few websites for local business using PHP and MySQL. In some instances, used the Drupal CMS.

7) Wrote a few web services using C#.

8) Eventually going to finish building a beowulf cluster.

9) Tinkering with the Blowfish cipher using C++.

10) Wrote a client/server app using C++ and PL/SQL to tie into a Oracle Internet Directory web portal that is the front end to a large data warehouse.

11) Reviewing Oracle Identity Manager and Sun One Identity server in attempts to replace our home grown userid and password management system.

etc...
