Psybryte and Jabbler

Yesterday I renamed my Typracell project to Psybryte.com, and gave it a new mandate: to facilitate the exchange of knowledge/data amongst consumer/survivors, mental health organizations, and community members through free web-hosting. Other non-profit organizations pay half the web-hosting rate paid by for-profit companies.

After the 2 computer languages included with Psybryte: Bracetagger and Lyvathon (a markup language and a scripting language, respectively) are both up and running, I will approach Progress Place, which is a clubhouse for consumer/survivors where I used to be a member. I want them to recruit computer-savvy PP members who can teach Psybryte web design to other PP members. They can also be beta-testers. Then I will attempt to join the Ryerson Digital Media Zone (DMZ), which is an incubator for tech startups, by pitching to them my Psybryte idea. If I get in I will use the DMZ to help out in my search for funders. The funding will pay to subsidize the free and half-price web hosting for non-profit organizations, and will also pay the salaries of the CEO and one or two Java programmers who are on the autism spectrum. An organization called Specialisterne will help me recruit the autistic programmers (they find tech jobs for people on the autism spectrum). I can use CAMH (I'm an outpatient there) to help me search for the CEO who will be someone with an anxiety disorder but is good with people.

I recently finished the command-line version of my Java Scrabble game, which is called Jabbler, and I laid the foundations for my future code that handles robot players. After implementing robot players I will begin learning GUI-oriented Java programming (I already know Delphi-based GUI programming so that's not too hard). That will enable me to add a graphical user interface to Jabbler. When that's done I can begin implementing Psybryte using Java, starting with solidifying my Bracetagger design specs and then I have to learn my Java for Web Applications book. Another task is to implement the command-line version of the core Lyvathon modules: the assembler, the runtime environment, and the compiler. So it looks like I've got my work cut out for me. Happy coding to one and all!
