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 most of the HomeSeer API and uses hsClient, the Java wrapper I had previously built for the HomeSeer API.
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.

The basic idea is simple; mock a HttpServletRequest, and a HttpServletResponse and pass them to the custom servlet. There is a bit more too it, so here’s an example. final HttpServletRequest…
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’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 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…
