New version of simplechat
Jay! simplechat, my websocket-based chat application, got an overhaul.
Mostly an UI improvement. The chat now looks much better IMHO.
You can either install it on your own server or use my public installation.
This website is no longer maintained. You can visit my new website laria.me instead!

GopherCon 2014 Go from C to Go by Russ Cox
Russ Cox talks about automatically transforming the Go compiler from C to Go.
Concurrency Is Not Parallelism
A great talk from Rob Pike about concurrency and the Go programming language. Definietely worth the 30 minutes.
simplechat
I've published simplechat, a websocket-based chat application written in Go and Javascript.
It provides throwaway chatrooms: A chatroom is identified by it's URL, it will be spawned when the first one enters the room (visits the URL) and is deleted when the last one leaves the room. Nothing is stored permanently and no login is required.
Some small Go libraries
I've published buzhash (a rolling hash implementation) and binproto (a binary protocol). Both were part of a larger project that I will probably never publish or finish. But perhaps these libraries will be useful for someone.
command center: Self-referential functions and the design of options
Cool idea for designing options in Go.
youtube-feed fixed... ?
So, my small youtube-feed tool is really useful. I am not subscribed to any channels any more (since I prepare to delete my Google-Account) and I still get all the new videos from my favourite YouTubers. Great!
youtube-feed
youtube-feed is a small tool I've written in Go to combine multiple YouTube user feeds into one. Since I want to cancel my YouTube account soon, I needed this program as a replacement for subscribing to channels.
Updates for biomed
I have made some improvements to biomed, my biome editor for Minecraft maps:
mailremind
I've written a web-based service that allows you to send yourself an email based on a schedule: mailremind.
Why? Because I often send myself an email to remind me of something and I thought it would be useful if I could send mails in the future or based on a schedule (e.g. useful for birthdays).
If you also think this is useful, you can have your own installation (it is quite easy to configure), or you can use my public mailremind installation: mailremind.silvasur.net
gomcmap updated
I updated gomcmap, my Go library for handling Minecraft maps.
- New Biomes and blocks from the recent snapshots were added.
- Adding Chunks implemented.
- Removing chunks implemented.
- RecalcHeightmap fixed.
biomed was updated
I updated biomed. A bug in the weather condition fix code was fixed (snow could fall through glass because of Minecrafts weird definition of a height map).
There is now also an experimental minecraft-1.7 branch which adds the new biomes that the recently released snapshots introduced. When Minecraft 1.7 is out, I wil merge that branch into master.
biomed
I've written a GUI Tool that allows you to edit the biomes of your Minecraft maps, biomed.
It is written in Go and uses my gomcmap library and go-gtk as a GUI toolkit.
It currently runs under Windows and Linux and should also run on other operating systems, such as OSX.
