This is a list of personal projects that Tienshiao has worked on. He does
these partially for fun, and to expand his skills.

| CrystalBall: Peer into the Ether |
| What? | CrystalBall
allows the user to see images that are passing through the ether. Yeah,
corny as all hell. Basically it is a packet sniffer that reassembles HTTP streams, and if a stream contains an image that CrystalBall can decode, it decodes the image and displays it. Basically it lets you spy on others. In other words, it's a Windows version of Etherpeg or Driftnet. It's not as cool as the others, in that it only works on HTTP (web) streams. |

| ToccerME: An AIM Client for J2ME |
| What? | ToccerME is
an AIM Client for Java 2 Micro Edition devices that uses the TOC protocol.
It currently only provides the most basic functionality of an IM client:
chatting, and the buddy list.

| BookCheck: Find Out More About That Book (J2ME) |
| What? | Ever been
at the book store looking for a book you had read about online? You're there
and it turns out they don't have the book in stock. You see a couple other
books on the same subject, and you wonder if they're any good (since you
came all the way out here, you had better leave with something!). How can
you find out? |

| SOMCalc: A Wireless Link Calculator for J2ME |
| What? | SOMCalc
is a wireless link calculator for J2ME devices. It can calculate the
signal strength, uptime/reliability performance, and regulation
comformance. It was based on
PocketSOM, and
written with the help of Casey Halverson who wrote it. |

| WordSearch for Tablet PC |
| What? | WordSearch
is a game where the player attempts to score the most points by assembling
words from letters randomly arranged on the game board. |
|
| Facts | Platforms: Window XP Tablet PC Edition Language: C++ Tools: Visual C++, Platform SDK (WIN32API), Tablet PC Platform SDK Status: a short list of additional features planned |
| Web IM Proxy (WIMP) |
| What? | The Web IM
Proxy (or affectionately, WIMP) is a web based interface for
connecting to instant messaging services like AOL (the only one currently
supported (through the use of Jaim). This
allows users with only web access (or WAP access) to make use of instant
messaging. This is particularly useful for subscribers of carriers who do
not have access (*cough*Cingular*cough).

| wwpc: A Dieter's Calculator for J2ME |
| What? | WWPC is
a J2ME MIDlet (for mobile phones)that replicates the functionality of the Weight Watchers'
Points calculating slide rule. The equation used is similar to:
p = (c/50) + (f/12) - (min(r,4)/5) where p = Points, c = calories, f = fat
grams, and r = dietary figer grams. This is an unofficial utility, and
I have no relationship with Weight Watchers.

| XML Lite: Lightweight XML Parser for J2ME |
| What? | XML Lite
is a quick and dirty non-validating XML parser targetting the J2ME
platform. With that, one of the primary goals for the project is size.
Though it is small, it features both a pull parser and a model parser.
The model parser is a separate class dependent on the pull parser, and
can be removed if not needed.

| Columns for Palm |
| What? | Columns is
my interpretation of the Sega game (they probably own the trademark as well) for the Palm (at the time called
PalmPilot. It directly accesses the hardware, and thus is not a very
"compatible" program. It will probably die horribly on newer color models,
but should be OK on the black and white ones that are 160x160 in resolution. Dug this stuff out of the back of the closet, thought I had lost it. Maybe
it'll be useful to somebody out there. |

| Facts | Platforms: Palm Language: C Tools: GCC Current Version: 1.0 Status: no more development planned |
| Projects in Limbo |
| WASABI: Web Application Server And Binary Interface? |
| What? | WASABI
is a small multi-threaded web server. I liked the name, but it doesn't
accurately describe its abilities at the moment. They are mere aspirations
right now. Currently, it isn't much more than a multi-threaded error
server :p. File serving will be completed shortly. The code in that respect
is module ready, but module loading and management still needs to be
implemented. The project was started as a personal exercise. I hope to use the server framework that was developed in future projects. Or at the very least, use the lessons learned to improve future projects. |
