I've posted a bunch of projects to Github in the last few months and haven't linked to them anywhere, so here's a quick roundup of recently notable projects:

• lib_timezones - A PHP and JS library to handle user-specified timezones properly, with reasonable client-side auto detection.
• lib_classsify - A partial PHP port of Github's own linguist which can automatically detect the programming language, given a code fragment.
• js-emoji - A JavaScript library to allow display of Emoji in then browser for OSs without native support (anything that's not OSX 10.8 or iOS 6)
• lib_autolink - My old PHP URL-detection and linking library, updated to handle multiple protocols.
• lib_solr_query - A PHP library to turn user-entered complex search queries into valid SOLR query syntax. Supports phrases, booleans, nesting, assertions and more.

Andrew Godwin has just released an excellent mapping project, visualizing a few London Underground stations, complete with public corridors, escalators, spiral staircases and platforms. The maps are 3D models, which you can pan and zoom inside the browser. Digging into the source is also worth a look, since it uses some nice canvas and three.js guts.

Poking around his other work, the Twin Tubes map is also worth a look - the underground network with each individual track visualized.

I'd like to check out travis-ci, but loading it crashes chrome. How does it even do that?

writing a book on github is pretty cool i guess
