Coolest Evarrr!!!!

I bet many of you have made some really neat things. What's the coolest thing you've ever created (in whatever way you define cool)? I really like the things I've made with what I call a voronoi gradient. I especially like the "globules" animation I made that could be tessellated and looped seamlessly (see the background image of this). I also made a 3D animation of a sphere bump mapped with the animated globules and covered with fire (sadly, no screenshots of that).

One of the coolest pieces of code I ever wrote parsed postal code information from an address. It could automatically discover U.S. POSTNET, U.K. Royal Mail, and Canadian postal information and then generate the correct postal bar code. What made it cool was the fact that it used a rule-based expert system to identify the information, and was actually fairly fast. The coolest visual thing I've done is a popup keyboard for a touch screen app. The keys are a solid color, floating in a partially transparent gray substrate. It sounds simple, but it was one of the first interesting things I've done in WPF.

delete this;I love WPF. I've made some funky UI's while toying around with WPF. Nothing compared to the WPF guru's though (Sacha has some very neat WPF stuff). :)

Mu first web app at my first job after school. It was kinda crappy, but it worked and I was officially working as a programmer. It would be total crap compared to the things you guys are talking about, but it was my first completely solo app with no help other than Google. So to date.. its my coolest, even though I have progressed and done better things since.
Programming is a race between programmers trying to build bigger and better idiot proof programs, and the universe trying to build bigger and better idiots, so far... the universe is winning. Be careful which toes you step on today, they might be connected to the foot that kicks your butt tomorrow.

Nice. If you put them in the app store and they work on an iPhone 3G, I may buy them (though I can't promise I'll play them).

I've made a bunch of things, but my latest favorite is here[^]. I designed this substation a couple of years ago, my first adventure in steel and concrete, with the intention of adding a second transformer and more steel busswork to connect the new transformer. I'd planned to get the second section operational, then rip out the original wooden parts and make the whole thing steel. I had a new second transformer sitting on a concrete pad waiting for the go-ahead to complete the build. But Saturday morning about 3:30 AM a lightning storm killed the original transformer, and we had to connect the new transformer immediately, using stuff we have laying around. I designed this addition from parts available, on the fly, as we built it over the past 4 days and very late nights. It's been a long haul, and all our asses are dragging in the dirt after several days and nights of working in 40C+ temperatures around the clock, but if we need to tonight, we can turn a switch and use this station again. There's more work to be done to call it complete, but it's functional now, should we need it. Fortunately, we have another substation that we were able to reconfigure to provide power to our customers attached to this one, and no one was without power for more than about an hour. :-D

Yes! I was actually thinking of your stuff when I made the OP, but couldn't remember the link. :thumbsup:

Thanks. This stuff is fun, but one of the coolest technical projects I ever developed was writing a windows service in C++ running under NT4.0. All it did was wrap a low level api to make requests to a Tandem mainframe. It scaled to millions of requests a day, ran stably without issue for years at a time, had connection pooling, used a hand coded thread pool written around the io completion port api, and automatically reset itself when error thresholds became too high. It was the result of about 3 rewrites from scratch over a couple of years, and tons of automated testing that just hammered the crap out of it.

A song. Millennium pie. Wrote it, launched it, watched it race around the world. It was sent out the summer before Y2K. Found it at this site, its probably at others: http://www.kaitaia.com/jokes/Lyrics/Lyrics1.htm[^]

The coolest thing ever is coming home and watching my kids play and sitting next to my wife. I think computers and software are evil beasts that are anything but cool. -- My 2 cents.
