Programs! Code!

This is a list of (some of) the programs I have written and made available online. Help yourself (but respect my license choices). Feedback is welcome, but keep in mind that many of these are old and effectively abandonware.

active projects (non-trivial things I use)

• Mailpile (Python, HTML5, Javascript)
  A tagging search engine and web-based e-mail client, with an emphasis on security and privacy.

• PageKite (Python)
  A tool for exposing servers on localhost to the public Internet. Also, a startup!

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

• My home backups (Bash)
  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.

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

• 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.

• moz_to_rss (python)
  A script which parses the Firefox places.sqlite and converts a folder of bookmarks into an RSS feed.

• img_to_pygtk (python)
  A script which converts an image into a compact snippet of Python code, for embedding images into PyGTK scripts.

• 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.

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

• 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... I was only 16.

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.

• 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.

• 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.
