NOTE: this page is slowly being moved over to code-n-patches page...

This page is devoted to some projects I am working on. I usually embark on one of these because I want to learn about some aspect of coding, be it a new language, or some feature that I have never tried before. These are not really meant to be propergpublic releases, although if I find that there some interest in any of these, I'll clean them up and make them much more presentable and useable. Right now, most of these are just quick hacks, toys that I could not obtain elsewhere but found indispensable.

Active projects

• pyurlview.py: a more flexible replacement for mutt's `urlview' program. This is a Python script. I use Python 2.1; I am not sure how well this script runs with older versions. Now allows tagging of URLs, and operating on the tag list.
• glbiff: an xbiff replacement (YET ANOTHER!), similar to the "mailbox" on SGIs. Uses Mesa libraries (you could easily convert this to use OpenGL).
• TkWallpaper: a prog for changing your background at specified intervals (nice interface)

Obsolete

• updatesig.pl: a Perl script that updates your `.signature' file with a new quote every time (go here for my current crop of quotes).
• xaxo: a (long way to go) game for X11; RPG/adventure a la Ult!ma 6; only a world displayer so far; uses axonometric projection (a la XC@M)
• tkpppload: displays traffic over your ppp link; much better stuff can now be found with KDE or GNOME.
• tkdiff: present graphical representation of the 'diff' of two files; much better alternatives out there -- my fav being `ediff' mode in emacs.
• sendwebpages: I used this to update the web pages on the school server using those on my home computer as the source; I now use `rsync' -- it's a million times better.
• TkPaint: a paint program (specially suited for game developers), roughly based on D*luxe Paint IIe; project retired; with GIMP around why would anyone want anything else?
