Sciurus

Sciurus IM Client Sciurus is a chat client written in Java based on an open-source library called JOSTL (Java Open-Source TOC Library). The library as well is being developed by us alongside with this client. Though the program is still in early development, it does have full chatting capability.

  • Send IM's to AIM and ICQ users
  • Typing notifications from buddies
  • Away/signoff/signon notifications
  • Set your own custom away message or chose the default
  • Add/Remove buddies from your list
  • Tabbed messaging through use of a list
  • Theme support (create your own themes)
  • "Friendly" display names (buddy list shows "John" instead of "~oX~ WiredGuy ~Xo~")

Upcoming Features:

  • Login using your ICQ account
  • Chatrooms

CueBase Media

CueBase Media Do you have an extensive movie collection? Can't remember what you've lent out? Well, if you have a CueCat then you can use this program to quickly input all your movies into a simple database for keeping track of your media. Scan the barcode on the back of your DVD or VHS and the program will auto-retrieve common information about the movie such as title, director, actors, and others. Using Amazon's web service (AWS) library, you can be sure that whatever odd movies you may have in your collection CueBase will be sure to find it.

Currently, the program assumes you are using an unmodified CueCat (Scanned code is encrypted). An update will be released shortly that will give the option to select the type of CueCat you are using.

Echo Media Player

Echo Media Player This project originally started because iTunes was only available for Mac OS when it was first released. Shortly after a Windows version of iTunes was released, this project took a long vacation (a few years). This project is now back in development and gradually falling away as a mere "clone". In its current stage of development it is completely functional and I use it every day to listen to both Internet radio and my own private MP3 collection.

Current Features:

  • MP3, SHOUTcast playback
  • ID3 tag support and table to display tags of all imported songs into the library
  • Dynamic searching shows your results as you type the query
  • Rendezvous/Bonjour support for DAAP
  • DAAP partially implemented


Jamocha IDE

Jamocha IDE Originally, this was a simple Java IDE I wrote to help me do my own Java homework. It started out as nothing more than a Notepad-like text editor with a syntax highlighter and compiling features. It got the job done and I finished the last half of my semester using only my own IDE. Recently, I decided to further develop the IDE into a more robust program.

Development started fairly recently, but it's off to a good start. You can open multiple projects at a time, maintained through the tree navigation structure. Multiple tabs allow you to quickly navigate between various opened source files. A date for a beta release is unknown at this point.
