I don't toot my own horn very often, but I feel like this is a good time to do so.
I spent the first year or so of my PhD research developing an obscure, cross-platform library called mdscwrap that lets certain programming languages (LabView, C, and Igor Pro) easily interface with MDSplus, a data archival and storage system that has become the de facto standard to the fusion community. After getting the package off the ground, I started doing science with it and have gone from there.
From time to time, I get requests from research groups across the nation to try out my library. I just got my first international request today. So, my distribution's gone global. Not bad for a graduate student project, huh? :)
