Irish Rail train times

My phone doesn't have a fancy browser like that shiny new iPhone, so I wrote this quick script to scrape the next train times between two particular stations from irishrail.ie.

It might even be handy for non-phone browsers, as there is a lot less form filling, and a lot less time spent waiting on big images of trains to load.

Dublin Pub Crawl

I wanted to make something useful using the Google Maps API, so I made www.dublinpubcrawl.net. One use of this site is to just find out where exactly a pub is, but its main feature is to pick some pubs and create a pub crawl through Dublin for you, based on some criteria. Give it a go!

Lotto Checker

There's probably a million of these all over the net, but I thought I'd do my own Lotto checker for the Irish lotto. Create a login and save your numbers so that you can easily check if you've won millions after each draw. Lotto Checker.

TV Listings

It's really hard to find a site with nice, searchable, easy-to-browse TV listings, so I decided to do my own. The channels it lists are based on the NTL cable package in Dublin. TV Listings

Sodoku Solver

I decided to have a go a writing a little applet to solve those Sudoku number puzzles that seem to be all the rage at the moment. It's nothing that hasn't been done a million times before, and better, but it's the first thing I've written in a long time following a prolonged spell of laziness, so I was pretty happy with it.
