Chromabro

A simple webpage that will take webcam input, use tensorflow+bodypix to segment the image in two parts (background and person) and then set the background to a generic green screen for chroma keying later.

This is similar to how other apps achieve the same effect (Zoom, Teams, Nvidia Broadcast RTX thing, Xsplit, Chromacam) but free and run entirely in browser.

The intended use for this was to feed in to OBS and utilize the chroma key plugin to overlay video there.

Campfinder

Here in British Columbia you can book provicial campsites via discovercamping, however, it reports available campsites even when the only thing available is a walk in camp site. I've created this site as a way to report all campsites for a given length of time across the provinince.

This became a project to try and learn a few more technologies on both the frontend and backend. The frontend is React and this is my first time using it after completing a tutorial, it's very rough. It includes AWS Amplify and Mapbox compontents. The backend is AWS components (Cognito, API Gateway, Lambda) and built by terraform. I've been wanting to use Cognito to create an authtenticated API endpoint and this is the result of that.

To use it you must create an account as the backen API is authenticated. This is also a way to keep usage down as eventually it hits the discovercamping website to populate the map. - Removed Auth as I hit a grand total of 7 test accounts

Mandlebrot Explorer

Here's a single page html mandlebrot explorer I made. It's my first real exploration of javascript, html5 and css since university. I spend my times at the HTTP layers and below

It's simple enough to use, click (or touch) and drag to draw a box to zoom into. Reset button takes you back.

It renders surprisingly fast on my phone, there should be up to 320 multiplications and 320 additions/subtractions per pixel in the white areas.

2020/2021 Travel Blog

This has been postponed due to a virus, but here's a gallery to look at from the only part of the trip we were able to complete. Still looking at options to resume but we've ended up in our final destination way earlier than planned

Melissa and I are taking a year off to hit every continent (except Antartica). This will be the link to the blog/information once available. Youtube/Instagram will be the best source of where we are however.

YouTube

My YouTube Channel. More videos as I learn to edit over the next year.

2011-2012 Motorbike Trip

The blog from my 15 month motorbike trip from Australia to the UK. The first time I left Australia and I took a vehicle with me. Didn't exactly follow the route I'd planned (Karakoram Highway) but had other adventures instead (Iran).

2011-2012 Motorbike Trip Map

I'd used google fusion tables to display a map of everywhere I went on my trip however the service has since been retired and the link is broken. This is a copy of the map made by using Python + Folium from all the GPS data saved while I was travelling. There were only a couple of days missing when the batteries were flat in the GPS otherwise all locations were logged (even the back and forth in towns trying to find my accomodation).

Home Projects Blog

A blog I've been keeping of useful tips and tricks of things I've discovered at home or at work (that I can share) that are not travel related.
