Nerding wishlist (16/12/07)

I read somewhere that it is useful to empty your mind from time to time and that’s what I want to do in this post.

Lately I have been having lots of thoughts of things I want to do with technology/computing/… so I’d rather write them down, than having them randomly popping and fading in my memory.

  • SQL Server to PostgreSQL replication
  • PostgreSQL database manipulation to use PostGIS capabilities
  • Play a little bit with R and its Python bindings
  • KML filtering on demand (provide the information in a single KML to a server, and have it filter the data based on a bounding box passed as a parameter to streamline the file size transmitted to the client)
  • Java source code reverse engineering to obtain the UML compliant class diagram. I found java2xmi but didn’t have much time to play around with it yet. I also found out about JavaML which provides an XML representation of java source code and thus makes manipulation much easier. There is some documentation online on JavaML manipulation with XSLT to create XMI but couldn’t find it. It would be interesting to give it a try :)
  • Take the previously generated XMI file and provide a web2.0-looking web view of the class diagram.
  • Integrate the previous two ideas into the online collaborative development environment Parade.
  • Play with Android
  • Develop an application for the AppleTV to display relevant info for me (weather, agenda, traffic information, …)
  • Finish the implementation in RoR of the project that will make me rich :P
  • Add some functionality to pligg for the junknews.eu – 100% junk, 100% news, 200% junknews! website that I started with some friends

If you have any ideas/hints/links/… to get me started on any of them, please tell me in the comments :)

    RoR for junknews? or for something bigger?

    Tere Joao!

    Actually it is not related to junknews.eu :)

    I have a pet project that want to launch sometime early next year, but as life goes I never manage to find time to finish it :(

    As soon as it is ready I will let you know to get your opinion as beta tester :)
