Apart from my professional capacity as a programmer, I am also involved in some other programming projects:

Reva
Reva is a free, fast and small version of the venerable Forth programming language. It was written and is maintained and developed by Ron. Running on both Linux and Windows, it is an answer to the heavily bloated development tools used by most of the industry.
vim
My editor of choice
zemanim
A calculator for "halachic times". It includes Windows, Linux and Mac OS/X executables, but not the sources.
ETCdb
A membership database for my synagogue. I've been writing, maintaining and updating this database for close to seven years now, and I plan to turn it into a lightweight commercial product. The original version was written in Win32Forth, but the current version is C++ and uses the excellent SQLite database backend. Future versions will use my Reva forth and SQLite.
Linux on the Acer 5100-5033
Not programming per se, but I wanted a new fast machine before moving to Israel, and on this page I'm documenting my travails getting it set up "just right".
Convert VHS to DVD on Linux
Also not programming, but maybe helpful...
