Description
|
|
  
|
album
|
|
|
An html photo album generator which descends directories and
has theme support.
For an example, see my photo album.
|
|
|
asq
|
|
|
Mame Cabinet
front end, nice and simple and fast, using arcade controls. It runs in a
terminal window but can display a screenshot window as well.
Supports MAME as well as other emulators and various games.

|
|
bew
|
|
|
A webcrawler/robot for mirroring entire web sites or web trees.
Just give it a URL and it gets everything underneath it. It can
tell you about broken links as a helpful side-effect.
If you want something more stable but don't need the recursion, see findex.

Davent
|
|
|
Themeable event registration system which I've developed/used for our dance
weekend events for over a decade now. Includes website creation, registration,
payment processing, door checkin and even post-event survey. Different events
are created by creating small perl files of info, allowing things like complex
date-based or # sold based pricing. The biggest weakness is in dealing with
more complex checkin issues, such as dealing with one email buying multiple
registrations and doing registration changes and trying to figure out the
correct price (some of these problems are intractable).

DaVite
|
|
|
This is a web invitation system, much like evite.com or invites.yahoo.com,
but you have total control over it! Note: I am no longer developing DaVite,
as I have started to do work on MyVite
|
|
|
ePerl
|
|
|
Embed perl in your text files! This is a very snifty tool. It
was originally written by Ralf S. Engelschall as a C program, and
I realized that it should be written in perl, which I did in a program
that is an order of magnitude smaller. (In fact, the
source for this page is eperl).
|
|
|
every_change
|
|
|
This script kicks ass for code development. Watches a file and runs
it (or something else) every time it changes. Write your code in one
window, and watch it automatically execute in another.
|
|
|
html2jpg
|
|
|
Converts HTML pages to images (gif, jpg, png, ps, etc..).
Very kludgy, only works with certain versions of Mozilla, but I needed a
way to automate screen grabbing the HTML window out of a browser
(for my album project). Maybe it'll help you. If you have KDE, I
recommend khtml2png

LocationExample
|
|
|
Example Android project that creates a simple but complete location app.
It uses Google Play Services and Google Fused Location Services (the
latest location API) to do location updates and properly handles the
lifecycle as well as turning location lookups on and off.
|
|
|
make_faq
|
|
|
Makes FAQs and such things. I use this to build:
DaveFAQ and
DaveHistory
|
|
|
mvx
|
|
|
Simple yet kicks ass. Moves or copies files using regular
expressions. Thanks to Andrew Allen for the idea, which I'm sure he
stole somewhere else.
|
|
|
perlc
|
|
|
Perl to C 'compiler' for hiding perl source code and creating an executable
for distribution. Also has simple support for limiting distribution.
(Not true compilation!)
|
|
|
pemf
|
|
|
I got tired of procmail and the like, so I just wrote my own mail
filter that's easy to control and can do simple things like remove MIME.
MIME sucks. If you can't vi it, it sucks. It can also catch SPAM,
auto respond to email, forward email, blah blah blah. Everything that
procmail can do, but it's perl, so it's better. Perl rocks.

|
|
scurvy
|
|
|
Lets you easily write screenplays or scripts in a simple text format,
then converts them into the proper screenplay format. Also imports
some RTF and Final Draft formats and can convert to multiple formats
as well.
|
|
|
serverizor
|
|
|
Converts a generic command into a tcp server so you can disconnect and reconnect to
it from the command line. This is actually pretty handy.
|
|
|
site_index
|
|
|
Multi-page HTML site index generator for local domains. See
examples at any
of my domains.
Companion to whats_new
|
|
|
spigot
|
|
|
Spigot is an easy way to turn on and off printing of text according to
patterns matched and other simple rules. Like a combination of 'expect'
and 'cat' and 'head'. See usage for simple examples.
|
|
|
tcp_forward
|
|
|
Forwards a TCP connection and lets you snoop and filter the traffic being sent.
Uses the simple IO::Socket server/client examples in the perlipc manpage.
|
|
|
thumb
|
|
|
Just a thumbnail generator, except that it makes thumbnails the same size
while keeping aspect ratio by cropping - so the pictures aren't stretched.
This looks better than I expected - and is the code I use for the cropping
mode of 'album'
|
|
|
libExpr.rb
|
|
|
Ruby expression tree generator. Can convert expression strings such
as "(7*3)+(var/2)" into an expression object that can be very quickly
evaluated (and can handle offloading variable evaluation). Can
convert to RPN, Prefix and AST (abstract syntax tree) and has a
flexible precedence model that includes presets for Ruby precedence
or C precedence. Uses the shunting yard algorithm, but also supports
unary (such as '-a' or '+a') as well as ternary (such as 'a?b:c')
operations as well as short-circuiting logic operations (such as 'a||b').
Only AST supports all of these features, see the docs at the top of
the source for more info). Also has a testbench that generates random
expressions and verifies correct operation. It's a tar.gz, but you can
also just look at the source and the
testbench here.
