Software Projects

I wrote a bunch of little tools and pieces of software. Other things I found on the internet 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.

  • 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 numbers of dice and performing time-consuming calculations. It can also look up information and generate various things.

  • 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.

  • 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 checks whether SMTP could deliver to an email address, following the current RFCs, internationalized addresses included.

  • Emergency Phone Software - A list of applications you can install on a spare phone that are useful in 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 detection of problems 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.

  • 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 the work out of putting up a puzzle site of your own.

  • 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.

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

  • 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.

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

  • 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.
