I've posted my Java option parser that I've been working with for awhile. It's saved me a good deal of time writing annoying argument parsing code and it's pretty polished by now (and still nice and simple), so go check it out. I've also posted a little proxy server that uses my option parser.
Since the last time I updated here (long ago), I've written a locally distributed version of my Othello program that helps a lot with the 'wait three days for results' problem when you've got a computer lab of idle computers at school to use. I'll try to get something updated posted here in the next couple of weeks.
I've added the source code to the neural net Othello project to the programs page. I'll add some of the players I've evolved using it when I have some time (that's not spent making it better, which is unfortunately more fun than posting things here).
