Past projects

Below you find a selection of past projects, if you miss something or would like to propose a future past project, go ahead (and contact me)!

SessionTimer + SessionTracker

SessionTimer is a free iPad application available from the iOS AppStore that allows you to have a large visual timer running through meetings, pecha kucha events, demonstrations and other time-boxed activities. It has been used already in academic and commercial environments to make sure everybody presenting gets the time he or she was promised – and deserves.

SessionTracker is another iPad application that tracks how a session is going, basically how much time for which activities, and that presents the currently running session as a live chart. Intuitive and quick to use.

Both applications are currently not available anymore on the AppStore because they became incompatible with the last Apple frameworks. Let me know if you interested, I might be able to resurrect them as web applications.

WordPress CiteULike Plugin

wpciteulike is a Wordpress plugin that renders a bibliography maintained with CiteULike formatted as HTML. It used to be main my driver for generating publication list on this website, well, before the move to a Jekyll-generated static site. This plugin is currently not maintained and the CiteULike service seems to be gone. Nevertheless, this plugin give you a start in making a publication list on Wordpress with manually imported BibTeX files.

avocoda

Together with Ansgar from Bassfrucht I started avocoda as a place to host experimental web applications that fulfill different needs of the digital age. The two most mature projects were a portfolio sharing tools and a personal informatics tool, called “tricklelist”. All projects and the site are gone now. It was time to move on.

Gelegentliche Öffnungen in der Nachtmaschine

In the early 00’s I was in Japan and found joy in writing a diary about the exciting things that happened there (for the people at home). I continued for while back in Europe. Both diaries have been written in German, for stylistic reasons and to cater an audience of mostly friends and family. Not online at the moment.
