lcatDB (Lake Champlain Anglers’ Temperature Database) was an online database and single page application (SPA) meant to provide a centralized means of recording, accessing, and analyzing vertical water temperature profiles to citizens of the Lake Champlain region. It was supported by the SUNY Plattsburgh Center for Earth & Environmental Science and the Lake Champlain Sea Grant. lcatDB was (what I consider to be) my first attempt at full stack software development. While the app never really took off and is no longer around today, I was able to demonstrate many of my strengths and learned several valuable lessons. This is a continuation of my last post where I discussed programs exclusively for macOS. The software here should be available on all platforms (Win/Mac/Linux). If it’s software that’s already been covered ad nauseam everywhere else or something I don’t use regularly, it’s probably not getting listed here. Welcome to the site! If you’re on this post, you’re probably wondering who I am and what I do! I’ve recently graduated from Clarkson University with a Master’s in Computer Science. However, I’d like to use this post to show what I am outside of just this degree! You know those shitty tabloid articles you find on Google when you try to find software recommendations, all of them having the same 10 programs over and over? Yeah, this isn’t another one of those. These are all programs I’ve spent a good deal of time with and will be giving genuine opinions on. Let’s get to it. I was considering making this intro a lot more long winded, but instead I’ll just say this: my motivation for porting these games to the Switch mostly came from wanting to play them there myself. At the time I ported these games, the Switch was the best option to play these games on for several reasons: So, I’m restructuring a lot of things in life right now. Why don’t we take care of the website too? Various snapshots of my life.
