Portfolio
I have gathered some of the better work that I have done over the years, took some screenshots, and posted them to a running instance of MooFlow. Hopefully it can serve as a portfolio for others to view and discuss.

Songbird Equalizer
Awhile back (years) I tried out Songbird (a media player based on the same technology as Firefox and Exch), but was disappointed that it did not have an equalizer built in. More recently however, after downloading the 1.3.x nightly build I was pleasantly surprised by its progress. Much lighter weight than the likes of iTunes, and supporting awesome features like Amarok, it is turning out to be quite the app.
I suppose after a few more revisions and hopeful changes, it will be all that I had hoped it would. Things I would like to see added in the near term are, easier streaming media and playlist manipulation, as well as being able to save equalizer settings.
Check out some of the screenshots I took:

Exch 1.4.4 Submitted
Exch 1.4.3 was submitted to Mozilla Addons a few weeks ago that had the following changes:
- Fixed issue with OS X preferences dialog.
- Changed keyboard shortcut to “ctrl-shift-e” on Windows and Linux and “command-shift-e” on OS X.
- Added German (de-DE) localization.
Unfortunately, something between the preferences dialog change and the new German localization needed a few more tweaks to be considered stable, and I didn’t test it out as good as I could have (downloading the German version of Firefox, etc.). So, anyone who has a German build of Firefox found their Exch broken. Fortunately, that has been fixed, and version 1.4.4 has been submitted to Mozilla Addons. It is still pending review in the sandbox, but I expect it to be released within a week or two.
With that said, you can download it directly from here, and then install it to Firefox for the fix… This really only affects German users of the extension.
Download / Install: Exch 1.4.4

Exch 1.4.0 Submitted
The last submission I made to the Firefox Add-ons site for Exch was for Firefox 3.0 beta 4 compatibility… and it was still waiting on getting approved. So I deleted the files for the stale versions, updated Exch for Firefox 3.0 compatibility, and submitted this new version.
Hopefully it can get approved soon. I tested functionality on Ubuntu 8.04/Firefox 3 and on Windows XP Home/Firefox 3. It works as expected.
Changelog:
Minor update for 3.0 compatibility.
