Code

Here is a list of recent coding projects. I’ll try to bring in older projects if I have time.  You might want to also check out the hacks section of this blog and my github account. Have fun!

Testament

Testament is a Django-based prison book project management application originally written by Andrew Badr.  It lets volunteers track sent and returned packages and inmate requests in the hopes of minimizing delays for inmates and helping the book projects evaluate their services for themselves and funders.  It is used by the Midwest Pages to Prisoners Project and other prison book projects.  I am a contributor to this application’s code and migrated from a pencil and paper on index card database to Testament while coordinating the Midwest Pages to Prisoners Project.

CTA Twitter

A twitter (and hopefully in the future regular old SMS) interface to the CTA Bus Tracker system.  Read more.

CRL Admin Menu

Override the menu items in the awesome Administration Menu Drupal module.  I made this for the new version of the Center for Research Libraries website.  Read more.

TODO

I've made a calendar of Chicago events I think are interesting. You can view the calendar here or load the ical in your calendar application.

DIY Chicago and the Chicago Radicalendar have a more comprehensive list of things going on.
