Welcome to AJWM.NET

AJWM.NET hosts several projects, some web-based, some not. Information about some of them can be found following the links below.


Alastair Mayer's Home Page (Which includes information and papers on several computer and/or space related subjects).

and
The CAVOR Project (An engine for GIS/CAD/CASE/etc systems.) (This project is now defunct, I have let the domain expire. The old page is here.)

The BackFire Project The goal is a program that allows for data file backup (and restore) over a Firewire/IEEE-1394/i.Link to a Digital Video camcorder, storing the data in video frames. (A 60-minute mini-DV or D8 tape will hold about 12 GB)
(This project is currently on hold. For a working project that accomplishes much the same thing, see dvbackup. Different encoding technique, but they have working code.)

CoSy and WebCoSy The conferencing system (or collaboration system) that was adopted by major computer magazines worldwide (well, USA, England and Japan, anyway) as the information exchange system for their readers began as an internal project of mine at U of Guelph. I've been exploring variations on that theme, and U of G released the original code under the GPL a little while back.

NEW: JSP and servlet testing with Tomcat I've been playing with the Tomcat server, part of Apache's Jakarta project to gain more familiarity with JSP and Java servlets. I'll probably be working that into the main website later, right now I have Tomcat running on a separate port. It's probably not accessible outside the firewall right now, but you're not missing much. (Some pages to allow arbitrary queries of a test database, that sort of thing. The technology is actually pretty cool, and more responsive than something similar I was doing with CGI and Python.)

Stay tuned.


More to come....
