Projects
I am going to make an effort to catalogue any projects that I have been working on. Over time there should be more here. Some of my work will involve the Vancouver Hack Space (VHS).
9/11 Pager Search
Back in November of 2009, Wikileaks had released a set of pager messages that were made within the New York City area on the day of September 11th, 2001. Just over half-a-million messages were captured and saved within these text files and they give an insight into how the day transpired.
I took it upon myself to make the texts search able and I produced a search-able index. You may visit the index here.
Most of the attention regarding it came from a number of websites and Twitter as well (Wikileaks linked to it via there), but I was also interviewed by The New York Times and it was later picked up by the NBC affiliate in the same city.

I don't expect to be adding any other features to the service any time soon. If you come across a problem or have a question, feel free to contact me.
