FieldStripper

FieldStripper is a data-mining application I whipped up for my girlfriend who uses some legacy software which generates reports in a (almost) unusable format. It converts (undeliminated) reports into tabular files suitable for use in Excel. The project isn't available for immediate download, but the source is available on GitHub

Technologies: Qt, C++

Chrome Console

Chrome Console provides a way to access the Windows command prompt from inside the Google Chrome browser. The main reason for me making this was because I wanted to learn about NPAPI plugin creation. I use it when I'm playing around with the Haskell interpreter (GHCI).

Technologies: C, C++, Javascript, NPAPI, Chrome Extensions
