SourceRadio

View on GitHub

SourceRadio is a Steam plugin that makes it possible for players on a server to build a playlist together and listen to music as they play—even on public servers.

SourceRadio plays music through the owner's ingame microphone, and songs may be requested by any player via the chat interface. If multiple songs are requested within a short time span, the first song plays, and the others are placed in a queue.

Your selection of music is practically infinite. That's because SourceRadio streams music directly from YouTube. When players request a song, SourceRadio takes the request and sends it to YouTube, which spits out the top result. SourceRadio stores the information gathered from each song request in a local database, using that information to avoid future lookups. SourceRadio also saves the most-requested songs locally to the owner's drive in order to stream songs more efficiently.

Zion Mennonite Website

View site

Zion Mennonite Church, my home congregation, was in need of a modern website. I was asked to help implement this new site.

I decided to use WordPress and customize the theme and functionality as needed, so as to minimize the time spent working on backbone code.
