signalr and friends

What have I been up to?

Currently I am really into Microsoft's SignalR technology. It has me thinking about things like realtime applicatoin configurations as well as realtime dashboards with decentralized data points. Right now you have things like splunk and such which are great for historical processing of data, etc but what if you want realtime monitoring of an application and also communicate configuration to that application? 

There are some great examples out there of this stuff, So i am going to dive in and hopefully have some code up on bitbucket or github!

Also I am a bit interested in bringing a more efficient transport mechanism to SignalR like MessagePack  or Protocol Buffers or even an elder statesmen like hessian!

So I've again been bitten by the Transcoding/transpiling bug...Doh! My history with Transcoding  A few years back (around mid-2007), I was enamored with a new language on the block, JavaFX (now vala). Alas, I had moved on from the Java platform to the .Net platform during that time, and Silverlight just hit the stage (and WPF). I was more of a fan of the declarative and expressive nature of JavaFX than I was of XAML, so I looked into porting JavaFX script to the .Net platform (and later the DLR). I halted my work in 2008-2009, as JavaFX script was dying, and the Parser technology I was using (a great C# based parser called Irony) was giving me issues when integrating with the DLR. The LLVM Project I've been a fan of the LLVM project since about 2009. I have also watched its MSIL backend go into disrepair and interest in C# as part of the vmkit wane. I answered some stack overflow questions in 2011 about this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5054938/how-to-translate-

Quick Update

Just wanted to give a quick update. On the ZFS front i have really made inroads. I now have to decide whether to create a stand alone snappy kernel module (which could assist folks outside of my little tinkerings) or roll snappy into zfsonlinux, so i can do some benches, and see if its a viable alternative to the compression included in zfs. I am leaning toward kernel module, but I've found a project called snappy-c that is a completely C port of snappy. This will make option #1 super easy. On the tinkering front, Xamarin has ported the java layer of android to C# . I have already gotten my hands on the source. Planning to put it on a phone or tablet soon.
