Software and scripts

This is FREE software developed under x86 Linux and should work on any Unix. Some of my scientific projects have also involved programming, they are described in my Physics page.

Note: Many of these scripts include options, such as path definitions, near the beginning of the file. You should check and edit them before running. For example boinctime.sh requires the path to the BOINC directory on your filesystem.

Bitcoin tools

bittools -- handy command line scripts
Open-Source-FPGA-Bitcoin-Miner, my fork supporting more devices and platform neutral mining

Music / video tools

aaltolipasto -- lossless transcoding n' stuff
cdgrab.sh Distributed CD ripping aid
comms is a textmode audio player, a frontend to XMMS/Audacious, the page explains more :-)
discindex.sh Simple but effective filing/indexing system for CD/DVD storage, not just for music
flashvideoget.sh downloads the video file (.flv) from those annoying web pages with flash players, so you can watch these more comfortably with another player. Does not work with all sites, for Youtube and Google you might try Clive or youtube-dl.
mp3titles.sh Audiofile tagger with filename parsing for titles
qtl-mplayer.sh QuickTime Link wrapper for mplayer

Random hacks

boinctime.sh performance monitor for BOINC projects (e.g. climateprediction.net and SETI@home)
genconfigmake.sh General ./configure; make wrapper using Gentoo options
phoenix-update.sh checks and downloads the latest nightly build of the Firefox browser.
sigmake.py My first Python program refreshes the .signature every time it is read.
vert.py Matrix code for console. Maybe not the most useful, I just wrote it to learn some curses.

System utilities

Idler, a spindown daemon for external drives
My ebuilds for third-party software on Gentoo

Text manipulation

code2html.py, a simple script to convert source code into HTML. Used primarily for E2 writeups where [] need to be converted in addition to <>.
nodify.py is used to preview writeups for Everything2. It converts the bracket links into HTML, along with other small fixes.
takeaddr.py Having found an excellent Perl script for printing envelopes by Greg, this is a front end that grabs the 'from' and 'to' addresses from a LaTeX letter file.

Website scripts

gallery.tbz, my photo gallery engine
whatsup.py The script that formats my diary pages.
