I'm experimenting with the Github.com API. I haven't done much, but I'm using Sinatra and Octopussy:

Development is tough, as I keep on running into their limit, even though I really doubt I'm making more than one request per second.
This time its a patent browser. Totally not done yet, but the database is huge and there is a lot in the works.
I'm having a great time publishing Debian stuff with Sinatra, so here's another experiment!
Many of these are a total mess, but I'm sharing this link because its an interesting setup. I'm using Nokogiri to parse HTML files in /usr/share/doc. Most of them use totally different formats, so some work out better than others. I'm curious to find if I can somehow herd them all together.
I've added some more features to the first Docunext Labs web application:
In my humble opinion, these are very cool features!
The first Docunext Labs tool includes a simple recreation of an old Docunext online tool: online dig.
Not everyone will know what "dig" refers to, so I'll explain that it refers to the querying of a domain name through public name servers to identify its corresponding IP address. This functionality is also available from the "nslookup" and "host" tools.
Checkout this example which views the IP addresses which correspond to "www.docunext.com":

There is nothing to see here!
Its just a mirage!
No, seriously, there is very little of interest. I'm only post this link to keep myself motivated on developing this idea.
