We have an Arctic Spa at our house which we enjoy. Recently, an OpenAPI spec has been published for it, so I decided to write a Java wrapper so I could control the spa myself, and monitor temperature with Prometheus and Grafana. The resulting code is here. The wrapper class “com.khubla.kspa.Spa” takes care of all…
When building database ORM code, I prefer to use ebean, and I prefer to use DAO‘s. Since DAO’s are simple to make generic, I have a Generic DAO I use for all projects. I’ve finally decided to open-source my DAO code, and you can find it here https://github.com/teverett/ebean-dao.
I’ve recently been quite interested in Graph languages, not for Graph Databases, but for representing information, in code that is essentially “things” and “relationships”. For example, one perspective on Organizations is that they are simply representable as people, systems and the information that flows between them. Those three building blocks are, in theory, enough to…
I recently had reason to get to know OpenAPI at work, so I decided to become familiar with it. I have a HomeSeer home controller at home, which exposes a JSON API, so I decided to write a Java OpenAPI server to expose the JSON API over OpenAPI. The net result is hsOpenAPI. It exposes…
I recently got a call from a friend who has a library of thousands of PDF documents. He wanted to know there was a such thing as a personal search engine that could index his library of documents, and allow full text search inside of them. I have a giant document library too, including PDF…
A couple projects I’ve been working on have a need for a REPL style console. I had written a simple framework for creating REPL’s, which is open-sourced here.
I recently had a reason to need a TELNET server and couldn’t find a Java library that worked for me. After a weekend of hacking, I now have kTelnet, an Open-source, BSD-licensed, TELNET server.
I’ve recently become very interested in blockchain, and that, naturally led me to Ethereum and Bitcoin. From there, I got a little interested in online trading, but since I prefer not to have to think about trading, I started thinking about a trading bot. Part of the work I needed to do was write a…
I was recently asked to release some of my code to Maven Central, and therefore had to figure out how to do it. I’ve now released these khubla.com libraries: cBean Pragmatach antlr4test-maven-plugin OLMReader simpleIOC ParadoxReader The maven coordinates for each are documented on the github pages.
I recently had a reason to parse a large data set, for another project. I decided that an ideal “large data set” would be my Outlook mail saved archives. Sadly, Outlook for Mac doesn’t output PST files, it outputs OLM archives, which are, essentially, giant zip files full of XML. I was coding this all…
