Videos of recent Uni work
Since it's the end of Semester 1 at Uni, a couple of projects have been coming to a close. I thought I'd post some videos of them running.
First up is the above, an interface from the Universities' leaning environment - a load of HTML in an education-targetted CMS named BlackBoard - in to Second Life. Unfortunately, the version of BlackBoard used by the Uni doesn't make any nice data feeds available, so most of the hard work is 'screen scaping' the relevant data out of pages. Because most of the work went in to this, I didn't get to experiment much with new-paradigm UIs - the above is the result of 12 weeks of code (!!).
Each module the student is taking is represented by an orb, which (when clicked) tells the student any new announcements that have been posted to that module.

Above is the fun one - a demo of my crypto accelerator. It's a fairly undramatic demo, but it represents, again, around 12 weeks of work. The accelerator is configured to crypt using XTEA at 32 rounds, and fed with some test data which it encrypts and then decrypts. Pay no attention to the timestamps - this is a fairly early and unoptimised version of the design. Things should be faster later on.
