Yak 4000
After three years of PHP and WordPress on shared hosting, I decided to make the switch to a web host where I could use Python. I chose WebFaction and got my hands dirty creating a design for a new website all my own.
Yak 4000 is the product of my own design and lots of my programming — Django does the heavy lifting. It uses PostgreSQL as a database backend.
The name "Yak 4000" comes from my username, theY4Kman, which is often read as "the Yak man", but actually means "the Year 4000 man". So, I merged the two in order to create a memorable name centered upon the greatest animal living on the earth (and will be living on the earth in 2000 years).

LinkDestruct
LinkDestruct takes a URL and, optionally, a number of views and/or a time limit, then gives you a link you can hand out. Users can visit the link and will be transferred to the URL specified, much like a URL shortening service, such as bit.ly or tinyurl. When the link has been viewed X number of times, or the time limit is up, the link becomes inactive. This allows you to have more control and security over your links.

Viper
Viper is a SourceMod extension that allows Half-Life 2 server administrators to develop plug-ins in Python. It gives the same level of control as the regular SourceMod plug-in language, SourcePawn, gives. It is written in C++.

Sickles AFJROTC Website
The Sickles High School AFJROTC commissioned the web design students to create a website for them. Sean Dill, Elliott Blowers, and Garrett Taylor were chosen, and I joined in to do all the programming. Alexia Czyzowski drew the Gryphon logo.
The site is written in PHP and makes use of the h2o-php templates library. I used mootools for a JavaScript framework and a modified UvumiTools Dropdown Menu for the menu. As for the calendar, I've heavily modified Kubelabs's PHP Calendar.

Comicget
Comicget is a Python script that downloads series of URLs. It accepts a format URL (e.g., "google.com/%N") and different ranges of numbers/dates, and downloads them using wget. It is useful when downloading comics or other ordered items from the web.

TaskYak
After exhausting all the todo list management possibilities on Linux, and finding nothing that suited my needs, I decided to create my own.
I created TaskYak in Python, using ePydoc for documentation and the GTK toolkit for its GUI. I documented the program extensively, learning that there is such thing as too much documentation -- there was more documentation than code!

Joomla! Documentation
In 2007, Google announced the Google Highly Open Participation (GHOP) Contest, which connected pre-university students with open source organizations, much like Google's Summer of Code. I joined the contest and selected a documentation task for Joomla!. The task required the creation of a document that explained how to use the JavaScript framework Mootools with Joomla! 1.5.
