Very simple and highly styled slider inputs for mixing ambient noises; now right here!

Featuring audio for the original!

Very simple and highly styled ~Ambient Sound Sliders is an earlier iteration of an ambient noise single page application that focused intensely on simple control and style on the slider input element. This features a minimalist and yet highly styled slider inputs to mix ambient audio tracks. The audio tracks were selected from the public domain. Thanks, the public domain! slider inputs for mixing ambient noises; now right here!

~Ambient Sound Sliders was ported from a previous version of this site. It has been recolored. Then, adapted to be part of this card. As little else as possible was changed.

Space themed ambient audio

See the Cygnus Loop Nebula Today!

Atmosphere was made using the Angular CLI and Bootstrap; then paired with imagery from NASA. Half the audio tracks were engineered solely for this project.

Raspberry Pi and Raspbian based camera system

Including four raspberry pi model zero w and a model 3b+. The zero w models are each equipped with raspberry pi camera modules(two with and two without inferred filters) and stream video upon request to the Pi 3b+. The Pi 3b+ then serves the multi-view user interfaces on the home intranet; viewable in any browser. Most of the cameras are in place with Joby camera mounts. These mounts add versatility to both place the pi zero ws in a much larger range of placements and are also very easy to relocate for any reason. Plant cam? Watch the sky; storms and stars? Lest we forget pet cams and watching for food delivery!

Tiny powerful utility leveraging frameworks, not reinventing them.

Tiny File Encryption is a lightweight utility that provides simple, reliable file encryption and decryption using the .NET cryptography libraries. The app focuses on a minimal, user-friendly interface that lets users select files, choose an encryption algorithm, and securely store the resulting ciphertext.

Built on top of System.Security.Cryptography, the tool demonstrates secure defaults (AES symmetric encryption, PBKDF2 for password-based key derivation) while keeping the workflow simple.
