Software Projects

I wrote a bunch of little tools and pieces of software. Other things have been found on the internet but have not stuck around, so I mirrored a couple of those useful things onto my site for safe storage.

  • BURP - Encrypt a single file with Blowfish encryption. Command-line based, public domain, ported to many platforms. I have also written a Windows GUI.

  • DBF Tools - Some utilities I whipped up to boil down a `.dbf` file by aggregating the records and another to concatenate multiple database files together.

  • D&D Helper - Palm OS program that is designed to help out DMs and characters. It tries to speed up the game by rolling large amounts of dice and performing time-consuming calculations. It can also look up information and generate various things.

  • DOS Boot Disk - Copies of my old 1.44 MiB floppy disk image that I used to save so many different systems.

  • Email Validation Done Right - Javascript and PHP code that will verify that an email address at least appears valid and should pass RFC checks.

  • Emergency Phone Software - A list of applications you can install on a spare phone that are usefulin case of an emergency.

  • Feedback Box - A live feedback system. This can power a chat box that you can include on pages, giving visitors the ability to chat with each other and you can also monitor it for early problem detection with your site.

  • Floater - A floating menu for Windows, complete with source. Also has an altered version that works well on a flash drive.

  • FoxPro - Useful things that I have written. Maybe it could help you out too?

  • GPX Tools for Geocaching - Command-line utilities that will alter the GPX files retrieved from a geocaching pocket query.

  • Marco - Surveyor software for the Palm Pilot and other Palm OS devices. Designed to be a tool for quick calculations and small amounts of number crunching. Not a complete solution for surveying, but a fast and quick reference and calculator.

  • Perl Mirror Script - Perl program to mirror a set of directories with a list of exclusions.

  • One Time Pad XOR - Encrypt a file with a one-time pad, which is the only unbreakable cipher in existence.

  • Palm OS Software - A local copy of several Palm programs, all of which are free to use.

  • Java Puzzle Applet - Want a free puzzle that you can stick in your web pages? Try this one out! It is small, fast, very compatible, and takes almost all work out of putting up a puzzle site of your own.

  • SalangMenu - Tiny little menu system that is completely configurable through parameter tags.

  • SDIF Data Extraction (Novell) - Retrieves SDIF-wrapped files from a Novell backup.

  • Tape Tools - C programs designed to get data off of tapes from a Linux system. Especially geared for 3480/3490 tapes.

  • Miscellaneous Tools - Little things that I don't know where else to put.

  • UNTGZ DLL - Dynamic library for Windows that will decompress `.tar.gz` and `.tgz` files.

  • UNTGZ - Extract .tar and .tgz (.tar.gz) files. Automatic long filename conversion. DOS, DOS 386+, Win32 for Windows 95/98/2000/NT/ME/XP, native OS/2. Freeware, open source under GPL v2, with source code. Also a VERY tiny version.

  • USBStart - A nice program that will help you automatically run another program on your USB drive. When that program exits, the drive will be automatically dismounted. Great for use with Floater.
