Well, in my many years as a programmer and an inventor, I've come up with dozens of little tools and things to occupy my mind. I've decided that instead of keeping them as entries in my tidbits and news sections, I'd put them in a section completely dedicated to these little projects. Below is a list of my active and completed projects (This list in guaranteed to start small, but it will grow in time.) Not all projects are computer projects (and thus may not have a direct entry) and some I may not have gotten around to writing a page for (Expect a lot of these early on.)

Project List Key

- Completed Project (Not working on because I finished)
- Active Project (Currently, and actively working on)
- Projects Currently Under Consideration (Not working on, deciding if plausable. Things I want to do but may not have the skills or resources to accomplish)
- Sleeping Project (Set aside because of interest or other tasks, can also be a "TODO")
- Zombied Project (Work discontinued before completion. Possibly due to interest or feasibility.)

Projects Under Consideration

• Build a computer and OS around a layered ROM/FLASH/HDD file system for ultra speedy operation. (I know how this would be done, and assuming I can get the time I need, I'll be taking a shot at building it for Linux using the UNIONFS driver for the filesystem management).
• Build a device, and write software, to read barcodes (Written software, need a huge diopter lens for reader, oh and toilet paper tubes, and wooden disks, and wires, and a phototransistor, and some way of connecting it to the computer...)

Sleeping Projects

• (1 disk down) - Collect all of the Pilot Candidate Zero DVDs
• (Ongoing) - Be an active member of the Social Stigma forum (The forum isn't particularly frequented.)
• (75%) Design, develop, test, and maybe distribute a tool for automatic frame distribution, rendering, and collating. (Update: We wrote Autopov2, but it still has a list of shortcomings a mile long, so it still needs more work, but Oni and I aren't doing POVRay at the moment)
• (90%) Implement/Develop color reduction routines and learn optimization and C/.Net integeration (I just need to clean up the source code, and find a motivation to getting to actually doing that. Except for TI-89 conversions, there seems to be little use for this.)
• (10%) Implement an 8 bit computer on a FPGA (Did it but wanted to redo it with a 16 bit address bus, multiple instructions, hardware interrupts, stack instructions, etc. So I'm at the drawing board stage again.)
• (Have the airship in the post appolyptic world) - Beat FF6

Zombied Projects

• (Ongoing) Design and demonstrate a more realistic view of what the Harry Potter world would be like (I keep loosing interest in this one)
• (20%) Build "Project Sumomo". Basically a small, battery powered doll with servo drives to animate her a bit. (This goes way beyond my manufacturing skill so I've skipped on this)
• (In the power plant stage 2) - Beat Metal Gear AC!D (I don't use my PSP much anymore for anything but a solid state "video iPod")
• (Ongoing) - Create a successful character on Star Wars Galaxies (Postponed till I feel like playing SWG again, but I fear the total revamp they did in November of '07.)
• (95%) - Write a CDRR fan fiction story (I can't figure out a way to make the good guys win...)
• (Effectively Ongoing,) - Collect all of the Case Closed DVDs (This was geting WAY too expensive so I called it quits.)
• (1%) - Beat Pokemon^tm Fire Red< (On hold due to other gaming interests)

• Be an active member of the NQIG World of Warcraft forum (What forum? There was a forum? Oh, you mean that place I talked to myself?)
• (40%) - Writing a Half Life Tag Loader (Steam's system is too complicated for me to bother with and they now have simple tools for this integrated with steam anyway.)
