HowDoable

HowDoable is a new project of mine that helps people keep track of important things by reusing their todo-lists. It also has some predefined tasks like sharing links or creating events on Facebook, Tweeting, emailing, adding musical gigs on LastFM and so on - they speed up on-line tasks.

ShowSlow

ShowSlow is a tool for aggregating and visualizing web site performance information. It is also available as open source tool.

Sharing Buttons

I created an open catalog of sharing buttons so everyone can implement their own version based on the collected data. It's based on wiki technology and uses Semantic MediaWiki to manage structured data.

Technical Presentations

TechPresentations - collection of interesting technical presentations. Feel free to register and add/edit presentations.
TechPresentations blog - original blog that was an initial version of the project and still used as feed for for the project.

Map banners - AJAX ads (heavy page).

Semantic Web

I also contributed a couple things to Semantic MediaWiki extension to MediaWiki and use it for some of my projects.
