Paving the road to hell with good intentions 😉: I tend to collect ideas faster than I ship them, and almost never make it into production.
- in C, a library that performs arbitrary-precision arithmetic on hexadecimal integers stored as packed hexadecimal digits, with a lex/yacc-based expression parser
- in JavaScript, a web-based version of a Windows program that I wrote back in 1999
I'm also intrigued by this video that Veritasium posted yesterday. Considering downloading the OpenStreetMap data and performing some experiments of my own with it.
So many fun ideas, so little time to implement them in!
