Bezier Curve Project

This was written as a supplement to my final project for my Winter 2007-08 Project Based Calc III class. My project was about the Bezier Curve and the derivation of it. I wrote this small app in Java. It allows the user to freely edit the control points of bezier curves and gives the user the parametric equations for the curves. I also added a few rendering options and the ability to save and load a set of curves.

Fortune Cow

I wrote this as a fun little free time project. It takes the output of piping the unix fortune command into cowsay and emails it to anyone requesting a fortune. It consists of a shell script and a procmail script. I also enabled it to send a daily fortune my friends and I using cron.
Send an email to cow@chrishossenlopp.com to receive a fortune.

Momentum

Momentum was the product of a quarter long group project for my First Year Enrichment class. The assignment was to create something that could benefit RIT. We decided on making a system that allows students to sign up for the required coaching appointments using an online system instead of using the infamous coaching binder. It was written in PHP and made use of MySQL.
