About
I'm a web developer who also likes to play with assorted other programming projects. When I'm not programming, I spend time studying Japanese.
I generally work with a mix of PHP, Python, and jQuery (javascript) as my projects require. I prefer to work on more server side code than frontend code.

Wrote an implementation of the Growl Notification Transport Protocol in Python. Includes a prototype listen server that can listen for GNTP messages and 'regrowl' them to the local OSX machine.
Python library for The Hit List
Provides a python library to access The Hit List through appscript's python to apple script bridge. Currently in its early stages. Will eventually be used to provide a method of importing entries from task trackers such as Piviotal Tracker or dates from Google Calendar and convert them into tasks.
Misc scripts
I've written various other scripts. For irssi I've written irssi-nohilight and irssi-growl by hacking together a bit of perl code. I wrote iTunes-lyrics-artwork to figure out songs in my library that were missing artwork or lyrics. I wrote radio-growl and radio to notify me what songs were playing on a radio station I enjoy.
