Recently "finished":

eproject - file/buffer grouping for emacs, http://github.com/jrockway/eproject

cperl-mode for MooseX::Declare - http://github.com/jrockway/cperl-mode/tree/mx-declare

On my agenda:

Emacs/LLVM; compile Emacs to LLVM bitcode, link with extensions written in arbitrary LLVM langauges. Right now, even my simplest attempts immediately segfault, so it is on hold for a while. http://github.com/jrockway/emacs

(Once this works, I want to make ECL run on LLVM. Then we can write Emacs extensions in a real programming language. I hear Python compiles to LLVM now also, so that's another option. Eventually Perl will too.)

HTTP::Engine refactoring; removing unnecessary metaclasses and adding support for requests inside preemptable coroutines: http://github.com/jrockway/http-engine (A threaded web server without the disadvantages of threads.)

Persistent application framework: http://github.com/jrockway/eventful (Generic foundation for web applications, TCP servers, IRC bots, ...)

Persistent command-line application framework: http://github.com/jrockway/app-persistent (Make your slow-starting Perl application start up instantly.)

Path::Class replacement based on Forest::Tree::Pure: http://github.com/jrockway/data-filesystem (I also have a binding to make a Data::Filesystem tree into a FUSE filesystem.)

Once this yak shaving is out of the way, I have a few applications to write:

Filesytem::Kindle - plug in your Kindle and see the books as unencrypted HTML (this one is going to be released anonymously, you didn't hear this from me, I was never here...)

PleasureChicken - email / im / irc message consolidator, indexer, data extractor. The idea is to let the computer read your messages for you, so you don't have to. When you buy something from Amazon, it will stick the UPS delivery date in your calendar, and remind you that you just spent $300 on your Amex. When your boss IMs you at 3am with the word "broken", play a sound. etc., etc. This might be a hosted service one day, as well. http://github.com/jrockway/pleasurechicken

Angerwhale 2 - A weblog for programmers that doesn't suck. http://github.com/jrockway/angerwhale-ng (See also: http://github.com/jrockway/angerwhale for the old version.)

Unfortunately, my time is being taken up by menial $work_tasks, which distracts me enough to not get much done. But that should all be ending soon.
