Software

by Ross A. Beyer

Like most hackers, I've written tons of little programs to accomplish this or that goal specific to the problem that I was working on at the time, and not too much that I figured other folks would be interested in. However, there are a few things.
Any recent shared development work is now available via my GitHub page.
I haven't really added anything below since 2008 (recent stuff is in GitHub). Many of these things are like ancient messages in a bottle from a bygone time of computing. I have other bits and really should get them posted here or elsewhere. In the meantime, my big open source computing project of the last decade has been the Ames Stereo Pipeline.

^† I made some money on the side during graduate school by doing web work and supporting programming for the Planetary Image Research Laboratory. These are programs that I worked on during that time that we have distributed.
