Intro
I'm involved in many software development projects, some of them I have hosted here for all to see.
Some of the projects haven't been worked on in a long time (Saferun, watchfile), and some of them are very incomplete (ircfs).
Project List
Active Projects
- PVR-500 & MythTV. I have recently experimented with MythTV and a PVR-500 card, and have built myself a Digital Video Recorder (DVR). This project site details what I have found when building the project, and what works and what doesn't. If you have a PVR-500 card, and want to use it in Linux, this is certainly a good page to visit.
- NZ Fire Watch. This program displays the current Watch Colour for the NZ Fire Service and St John Ambulance Service. This is not an official program from either service, and I wrote it for myself to keep track of which watch was on. See the project page for more information.
- Debian Sarge on an IBM x206m A quick HOWTO on installing Debian Sarge on an IBM x206m with RAID-1 mirroring with SATA 70GB disks.
Completed Projects
These projects are finished, or at least as finished as I am willing to make them.
- Saferun. Saferun runs a specified program, and applies certain limits to it. Currently the only limit that can be set is the allowed running time.
- WatchFile Hack based-on-a-need project. I had been wanting a program that would continually display the size of some files at the same place on the terminal (ie without scrolling down every update). So I decided to write one.
- Rotn Rotates the alpha characters in text files by a specified ammount (defaults to 13). This is bascially ROT13'ing a file, except, you can specify the number to rotate by. (including negatives).
Projects in limbo
These projects are ones that were active at one stage, but for one reason or another, have dropped out of my radar scope. I may revive them at some stage, but for now, they reside here.
- IRCfs IRCfs is a standalone IRC File Server for Linux. Currently under development, but many features planned. Was beginning to take shape, basic IRC functionality already done. IRCfs is hosted at SourceForge.
- pickrand - Picks a random line from a list of files and displays it. This program is done, but I haven't got around to putting it in the CVS and packaging it up. If you want it, let me know.
- Salsa - Squid Access Log Statistical Analysier. Parses a squid (proxy-server) access log, and generates an HTML report containly the list of clients, the websites they went to and how much was retrieved from each site. Again, this one is completed, I just haven't packaged it up. If you want it, let me know
