While developing software, I've created a set of small libraries that make life convinient. With the permission of my employer I'll try to provide at least some of those below.
Evtid library Interface to poll, timers
One project is "my baby". For a while now I'm trying to implement an interpreter for embedding in other programs. Similar to Lua or even Perl. Well, only similar. The key difference would be to provide the control over parsing the code to the developer. In all interpreters for embedding that I know, the developer may provide "extensions" Those are functions that will be called but only at execution time. Now, suppose this extension must be called with 2 arguments, but the user has provided in the script only 1. If I as developer had control over parsing, I could issue syntax error and abort parsing. But at run-time it's usually too late. Another example would be the use of while or goto to create endless loops. Usually I don't need such constructs in the embedded language, but they are provided for the sake of completness and now the user of my program can harm it by entering endless loop.
Currently I've come up with the frame of such system. Based on this frame I'd like to create set of modules that can be used with it to form a language. Please see the description of the system. Maybe it'll be interesting for you as developer :) The sources are here

In free time I'm playing with translations into Russian language. For example here's translation to Guide to Japanese Grammar. Obviously I'm trying to learn Japanese language. So far the contractions bring the most pain. So, I've started to collect them here. Finally, my stupid BLOG in English and in Russian :)
