What programming project are you working on?

[Chaotic42]

I've been detached from programming for quite a while. I probably wouldn't even beable to write a simple C program now. The last thing I was working on was Rouge, the "Rouge Online Universal Gaming Engine".

It never really got off the ground, but we had some sketches, and we basically knew what we wanted. The farthest I ever got was writing a *very* simple GUI with GTK and it could connect to another computer running it. That was about it.

We made the program so we could role play no matter where we were. We used to roleplay like 7 hours a day.

So anyway, what are you up to?

Edit: Rouge was to be written completely in Python. I had trouble finding good Python GNOME and Python GTK tutorials.

Both things in my sig. I stopped working on thump for a while but now I'm back at it, totally rewriting it because it was a hurried mess the first time.

I'm currently working on a project for the US Army that monitors ultrasonic anemometers deployed all over the city. The anemometer monitors wind speed, direction, etc., and is in part used to determine whether or not it can detect the presence of airborne terrorist attacks (e.g. a crop duster who releases chemical agents).

It's part Pocket PC, part Windows Server, part Linux, and implementation in C#, Java, and C. Oh, I was given the requirements on Friday afternoon and I have to have *something* to them for test on Monday.

 

[Haircut]

I'm currently writing a new quotation engine for the company I work for.

Outside of work I've just started on a diet/exercise planner than will keep track of what I eat and when I exercise as part of my recently started fitness regime
Using VB.NET and an Access backend for that.

 

[singh]

Just finished my LALR parser and now working on the compiler for my scripting language.

 

[Mucman]

Work on my website (in my sig)... unfortunately I've been slackin' lately.

At work I am writing an ASP.NET assembly to create DSN connections to our webservers.

Winamp remote for pocketpc. I know there are some out there but just wanted to do one of my own. I've already got the pocketPC client communicating with a multithreaded server to do basic winamp commands. It's pretty neat.

 

[AmigaMan]

At work I'm updating our rather dated Internet Banking application. It's a Java based application that I'm modifying to run on Websphere.
At home I'm learning .Net, probably going to get started on C# and move my way to VB.net.

 

[BFG10K]

Unfortunately I'm not really working on much at all. I do a lot of adhoc VB/Access at work but I don't really have anything that I can really sink my teeth into.

I'd like to do something big in C++ as I haven't touched it in quite a while.

I've been working as a programmer for over 4 weeks now, and so far I haven't written a single line of code(unless you count copy+paste+deleting 1 character - I had to do that once), drawn any design documents, etc. I'm only an intern, and it seems giving interns assignments is a very very low priority

Shhhh...they probably don't know you're there. Keep quiet, stay low and no one will be the wiser. You'll continue to get paychecks but not have anything to do. Isn't it great? Until you get so bored out of your mind you go postal. But it beats working at Mickey D's and the job will look great on a resume.

Taken from a true life experience! With the exception of the postal part.

 

[Armitage]

@home ... cleaning up my C++ Vector, Array, BitArray and astrodynamics classes for public release. Removing chunks of Numerical Recipes in C code and replacing with LaPack calls (which means switching from row-major to column-major order ... bleh).

@work ... working on a new algorithm to make sure satellites don't run into each other.

 

[Barnaby W. Füi]

Damn, I'm an intern and work MORE than I want to. Unpaid intern too.

That's not suprising ... likely most of the people you're working with are to wrapped up with their own stuff to work with you, especially if your skillset is significantly smaller or different from what they use. You're going to have to be agressive about seeking out work, and/or creating your own work. An intern position can be a good opportunity to try out long-shots or new technologies that they can't dedicate their paid people to.

i am working on software for the mp3box in my car. the mp3box is controlled from the headunit, so i only have 3 buttons to do everything.

 

[Kntx]

At home: completely physics based 3d engine, have some pretty cool results so far. Had this ball made of jelly rolling down a hill deforming and pieces of it sticking to the ground and falling off.

At work: a dynamic on the fly 2d stock cutting optimizer. Better known as the bin packing or box stuffing problem
