Javascript CSV Viewer

I had a csv file, you know, the typical... but I didn't have a viewer installed. I wanted something straight forward. I ended up using google docs but really, I was looking for copy and paste, something that would easily facilitate CSV files

Apophnia, an image server

So I was presented with a problem like this:

Hiya, I have a bazillion images and I want to um you know like:

• Be able to use new resolutions on the fly
  
• Have these dynamically created images cached
  
• Incur almost zero overhead in the process
  
• Have a dedicated image web server or a web server module to do it ... images are important

Basically, given file /myimage.jpg I want to do say, /myimage_500x500.jpg and then say,

1. Look for myimage_500x500.jpg.
   
2. If not found, back up, try myimage.jpg
   
3. See that (_500x500) is a resize directive
   
4. Dynamically resize myimage.jpg to 500x500, serve that image
   
5. Save a new file to disk myimage_500x500.jpg so that when it is requested again ... it's easy

Oh, and I want some other things

1. When the image is resized the first time, I want it to be the fastest algorithm possible so that the user sees the resized image with minimal delay.
   
2. But I also want a different, slow, high quality algorithm to run to save it to disk

One more thing, if it's not too hard

I want to specify things like this:

"medium": {
    "resize": [1024,1024],
    "quality": 50,
    "cropwhitespace": true
}

so I can do something stupid like request /myimage_medium.jpg

If only this existed! [ Download it here ]

Current implementation details

• Written in C.
  
• Uses Mongoose as a webserver
  
• Uses Imagemagick for sizing
  
• Doesn't actually do *everything* above yet, but that is the goal.

Online Porter Stemmer

I was looking for an online version of the Porter Stemming algorithm. I couldn't find one, and then realized that I am the person most recently credited with the official JS version here: http://tartarus.org/~martin/PorterStemmer/

So I guess then, it's my responsibility to make a demo: http://qaa.ath.cx/porter_js_demo.html

There it is.
