programs!

This is a list of the programs I have written and made available online. Help yourself, feedback is appreciated.

---

active projects (non-trivial things I use)

• PicPopper (javascript)
  A snippet of JavaScript to web 2.0-ify the user interface of my old fashioned static photo albums.

• My home backups (shell)
  Shell scripts and documentation for my really sweet home backup system. It automatically aggregates my mp3s and does other clever things.

• Yamon (perl)
  Yet Another Monitoring script: a script to detect when servers malfunction and alert a human. It aims to be a simple, minimal solution.

• Crystat (perl, flash)
  A Flash program to display active network connections to a server.

• the Anomy mail tools (perl)
  An extremely flexible set of mail processing tools, including a mailing list manager and a crude virus scanner. See them in action at molar.is.

• colormake (perl)
  This is a simple wrapper around "make" to make it's output more readable.

• rssticker (perl)
  This is a perl script for converting one or more RSS streams to HTML. It caches RSS data and keeps track of changes to implement news ticker functionality.

• WWE (perl)
  My web-based web-site editor. This is a CGI program for editing web pages. The actual data is fetched and saved using Net::FTP.

miscellanious stuff (more things I use, scripts, toys, ...)

• Glitnir.pm (perl)
  A Perl module for accessing Glitnir's online banking system.

• gpg-edit (sh)
  This is a wrapper script to simplify editing of text files which are stored symmetrically encrypted with GnuPG.

• bash-prompt.sh (sh)
  This is a snippet of bash code which I include in my .bashrc files, to color my prompt differently on different machines and update the Xterm title bars automagically.

• B.I.O.M.P. (bash)
  Bjarni's Incredible Online Midi Payer. This program is actually pretty stupid.

• cvs-symlinks (sh)
  This is a pair of shell scripts to manage symbolic links with CVS.

• danger-burn (sh)
  This is a simple shell script which will stream the output of mkisofs to cdrecord, reducing the work of copying the current directory to a CD to one command.

• language-error.pl (perl)
  A 406 error handler for Apache.

• pgp-mimeify.pl (perl)
  A script that PGP encrypts all incoming mail, for use with these procmailrc rules. I used this myself for well over a year w/o any problems, but YMMV.

• pop-redir (C)
  A tcp port redirector which can redirect different users to different POP servers.

• rbl-check.pl (perl)
  This script checks the headers of an email message for indications that it passed through a relay blacklisted by mail-abuse.org or ORBS. I like to have this in my .procmailrc file to block spam that comes from one of my many forwarding accounts.

• kmail.send (sh)
  This wraps around sendmail, to fix charset bugs in kmail (KDE 1.1.2).

• For old times' sake, here is the patch Hrafnkell and I developed to fix a memory leak in kfm (KDE 1.1.1). This made it into the 1.1.2 release.

• maze (c)
  This is possibly the first program I unleashed on the Internet. It's a C program which generates a solvable maze, from July 1992.

old IRC scripts

• GeiMi.irc (ircII)
  This is an old script I wrote which implements a rather irritating cipher for the ircII client. This is like, way 'l33ter than l33tsp33k.

• The Irritating Script II (ircII)
  Here is my good old swiss army knife script for the ircII client. The name is a jab at Phoenix, Textbox etc. etc. and the current crop of mIRC scripts which I all find incredibly irritating.

old DOS stuff

• .. to be continued ..

dormant projects

Note: If you would like to take over as maintainer of one of these programs, plese let me know. I still try to find time to update these programs' web pages, apply patches etc, but lately I haven't been doing so well. I'm not using these programs myself, so maintaining them just isn't very high on my list of priorities. Please help.

• aliasman (perl)
  A program for remotely managing /etc/aliases using majordomo-like email messages.

• dirgroup (perl)
  This is a script for merging the contents of a directory, /etc/group.d, into the file /etc/group. This allows users to safely create and manage their own groups and has many of the advantages of more complex ACL implementations without the overhead.

• the RedHat CD kit (sh)
  Scripts and documentation to help make customized RedHat style Linux installation CDs.

• setup.sh (sh)
  A shell script which tries (and fails!) to do for installing what GNU autoconf did for compiling.

• tircproxy (C)
  An IRC proxy with extensive DCC support and other advanced features.

• udb (C)
  A simple library to facilitate communication between different proxies and the identd about what user a TCP/IP connection belongs to, using a persistant table in shared memory.
