Welcome to developer-x.com. I am your host; Tim Scarfe.
C# vs. Powershell Some impromptu ramblings about the thought process "do I use C# or Powershell for this?" (June 15th 2009)
Decision trees in C#/Winforms. Cool little application that can load in any data, save back and dynamically visualize decision trees visually! Uses the ID3 algorithm. (Oct 25 2008)
Programmatic generation of PDF reports from SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services. Right here!. (Oct 04 2008)
3D bouncing balls in Microsoft XNA. Project for graphics in the second year. (Dec 2007)
UPDATED: EDM DJ Set Cuesheet Classifier Project. My third year project for uni has been approved and this is where I am going to document its progress. (October 2008)
Powershell Script for concatenating broken streamripper rips and re-sequencing the resulting cuesheets. I love streamripper to bits but it lacks an option to concatenate output after a loss of connection. When you are outputting cuesheets it turns into an absolute disaster because it would be a nightmare to re-sequence the cuesheets by hand. It also plays havoc with any automation you have running against the resultant set. (September 2008)
Powershell Scripts for automation of everything electronic dance music focused i.e. set management, search, recording radio stations, generating cue sheets, splitting cue sheets, adjusting cue sheets, ripping sets from web sites, getting cue sheets, parsing cuesheets, cuesheet association, m3u->pls conversion, cue filtering, podcast ripping. (September 2008)
UPnP Command Line Application for simple port-forwarding and getting your external IP address. (September 2008)
Fixing tag soup in a different fashion (June 2008)
Bezier Curves (April 2008)
The InnerHTML Debate with Alex Russell. So Alex and I wrote this article donkeys years ago. Since then Alex has got stupidly famous with his Dojo gig so keeping this baby up makes me look good by association :). This article is basically irrelevant now but still! I did meet up with Alex in Vegas earlier this year (2008) and had a good old chinwag and catch-up though which was sweet. (April 2001)
Dropbox. Random stuff. This is where I drop all the cool little nuggets of code or whatever that I just can't be arsed to expand upon further. So far there are: snippets of AI related prolog code, force-directed graph renditions of UK legislative documents (with code), implementations of graph theory algorithms, sorting algorithms, linked lists and loads more.
Live Writer, Word 2007 and metaweblog API some discussion about how these two content publishers implement the metaweblog API spec. (Jan 2007-ish)
I am back again, this time with a simpler web site hosted on my own server which means I can easily update stuff. Also some of the shit I wrote on the last version of this site was dated.
I've been toying with the idea of having a proper web site again for a while. I'm not a fan of blogging; But I would like a space to upload some of the cute little projects and scripts I work on from time to time. This time round I have gone the no-cms route and am just hand coding (I mean why not?).
I am a business owner living near Windsor, west of London. I own a small portfolio of companies (3) in the IT sector; software services, trade mark registration and data visualization. The largest of which is Dot Net Solutions. Dot Net is a UK tier-one Microsoft Gold Certified partner. It's a services company that specialises in integration and delivery of bespoke business middleware using Microsoft technology and an Agile management approach.
I am a passionate computer scientist and most of my interests lie in the general arena of science. Music-wise I love electronic dance music; specifically trance and progressive.
