When time permits, we do a lot of bike and pedestrian advocacy work. One of the common tasks we need to do is provide maps of areas where sidewalks, bike lanes and multi-use paths are warranted. In the past it has been a lot of hand drawn maps. This is a tool too ease that burden.
Bike Law Pocket Guide is your on-the-road companion for understanding bicycle laws across the United States. Whether you are commuting through your own city or riding somewhere unfamiliar, the app gives you quick access to the laws that protect cyclists — from helmet requirements and right-of-way rules to infrastructure standards and the legal protections that vary state by state.
Built out of a need and convenience, there is nothing dramatic of remarkable about this. It fills a need. Anyone that manages an email server these days is getting periodic DMARC reports. These reports are in XML, and are exceptionally well structured. They are also not built for human readability. Processing them to see issues and what is going on is a trying and mind numbing process. Instead, this parses them out into quick and easy readable and navigable results.

A .net library for quickly and easily adding a command line options interface, complete with help file display and easy parsing. This is available as a NuGet download, as well in full source form from it's Github repository.
A .net library collection of extensions that the Druware Libraries make use of. These extensions revolve around convenience methods for string and byte array handling but may grow and expand well past that. For the most part, they are just short cuts, and in some cases, there are other vectors to solve the same problems using existing libraries.
Druware.Server is a foundation. A building block of sorts from which a bunch of other little libraries build from, which when combined help us build entire systems with a very high level of reuse. Rather than create a separate project for each of those libraries, we are referencing all of them from here, though most are in different, related Github Repositories.
Another project that has been lurking in the background of things we work on to fulfill a personal need. At this point, this is a placeholder until we are ready to start pushing out details about this project.
A quick reimplementation of the venerable Windows SDK GUUID tool that provides a simple and consistent graphical interface for generating GUUID's. Originally written in Objective-C, this version is fully implemented using Swift and SwiftUI.
The ODBCKit is an open source framework for Cocoa developers to leverage the underlying Open Database Connectivity resources in the business network. Built with the intent of providing an easy and approachable toolkit for Cocoa Developers, it has evolved into a little bit more, also providing a couple of Automator Actions to the provide user level access to the ODBC databases.
The PGSQLKit is an open source framework for Cocoa developers to leverage the power of PostgreSQL in their applications. Built with the intent of providing an easy and approachable toolkit for Cocoa Developers, it has evolved into a little bit more.
Not quite ready for publication, the Pool Manager ( for Pools and Spas ) is a document based tracker for your pool water chemistry and treatments to help you predict it’s needs and track historical treatments.
On the Mac platform, there exists few options in the realm of the Relational Database Management System. Unfortunately, these systems are all either very pricey, or have poor support from applications because they lack either marketshare or mindshare. Today there is a huge amount of support for several open source products, of which PostgreSQL is among the best, and with a very commercial friendly licensing terms, it is a very attractive database for the Mac user, developer and enterprise all.
Highly scalable, and with an excellent support base in the open source community, bringing high quality tools and support the PostgreSQL on the Mac platform seems a natural fit, and that is the intent here. Providing a base of a solid server package in addition to lightweight management and client tools.
So much of building a RESTful client is boilerplate code work. The kind of boilerplate that is prone to creating problems later if something is not fully implemented. This is the result of our desire to not recreate the wheel every time we need to do a RESTful interface. Since we work in both C# and Swift, we wanted something that was very similar. This is the Swift implementation of our RESTful base.

These days, the QR Code has become one of the most ubiquitous ways of sharing url's. While there are a lot of free online tools to create them, most use some form of url redirection in their implementation. This is simply a quick command line tool that automates the process without any external dependencies or trackers.
