Scripts
In an effort to teach myself Javascript, Java and CGI programming methods, I have created several Javascript utilities, some of which are included below. Some examples were not worth including here, as they were merely test cases and didn't do anything of interest, but additional cases will be added here over time.

A calculator for astrophotgraphy. This calculator works for a camera lens system in addition to prime focus and eyepiece projection through a telescope. Enter the appropriate information for you photographic setup (film speed, lens Fstop or telescope aperature, lens or telescope focal length, film speed, etc.) and it calculates exposure time and image size on film as well as working focal ratio. The calculator also lets the user record any calculations along with associatied notes to a list of calculations, which can then be printed (great for field work!). Also included is a small database of astronomical objects with their brightness values and sizes.
A Hogwarts sorting hat based on the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling. This sorting hat differs from most others on the web in that it asks the user specific questions to determine their appropriate school house rather than using a random selection. Soon the sorting hat will remember the houses for people it has already sorted.
