Elastic Search - scan search with highlighting in java
http://hashmade.fr/elastic-search-scan-search-with-highlighted-results-in-java/
In this article, we will see how to perform a scan search using Elastic Search.

A scan search is useful when you need to retrieve large portions of data, and it will allow us to retrieve a subset of the results after each search request(by specifying a scroll id) until no more results are returned.

As an example, we will index ebooks, and find the ones that contain the word “Biological” in their title. Moreover, we will highlight this word in the results.

We will only use methods from the Java API.

The first time I've ever seen open source hit Wall Street hard
http://www.cdsmodel.com/cdsmodel/
The market for CDS (tradeable insurance against bond defaults) boasts one of the largest outstanding notional values in the financial markets. In order to facilitate easier communication between traders, they made the standard CDS valuation model open source. Very cool that FLOSS is finally penetrating a world besides high-tech!

DSL for WATiR to do automated web app testing I've created
http://wsl.xqoob.com
I've been working on a web application for the last year or so at work. In order to do some lightweight automated testing from the UI down I started using WATiR; which is pretty cool. However I took this one step further and wrote a DSL on top to speed things up. I call it WSL - WATiR Scripting Language.

The ultimate aim is to simplify the API so much that non-devs can use it (ie. testers). I'm hoping to open source this soon but in the meantime you can download the gem and install locally to play around with it. I'm in the process of creating collateral and examples that people can refer to at the linked site, in the process I have learnt a hell of a lot of other skills/technologies, which is really gratifying, but my submission primarily is about WSL so far - What does everyone think?
Realstoriz.com - the YouTube of real-life stories?
http://realstoriz.com
A very young web site, http://realstoriz.com, was launched recently and it set an ambitious goal for itself: to become the largest collection of real-life stories on the web. Just as YouTube is the largest collection of videos from real life, realstoriz.com envisions itself as the central place where everyone can share a story or two with others, read about others' experiences, express their likes by voting for stories, bookmark stories into their profiles on Facebook, MySpace and other social networking sites, etc.
In their own words: "Realstoriz is an online platform that facilitates the sharing of real-life stories with the whole world. It was built on the principle that every human being had experiences that are interesting to others and they deserve to be shared with them".

Goodies for Backbone: Backbone.Module, Backbone.Record and Backbone.ViewEvents
http://andreypopp.com/posts/2012-02-02-open-source-goodies-for-backbone.html
Some small Backbone modules by me. The most interesting one here is Backbone.ViewEvents which is an alternative implementation of Events for Backbone.View — allows for view events to bubble up through the view hierarchy which is automatically inferred from views' position in DOM. I think it is in some way similar to Twitter's Flight approach to communicate between parent and child components.
