No Time

I don't have time to write web pages - I have however prepared a list.

• blimitd - a daemon that enforces some login.conf(5) limits. Well actually only one (idle time) at the moment.
• bmake - a portable version of NetBSD's make. Compiles under Solaris and apparently HPUX, Linux and AIX.
• Burning CDs under FreeBSD - my notes about burning CDs under FreeBSD with an ATAPI burner.
• capture.c - a dodgy hack to find what arguments a program is called with. Useful when trying to inter-operate with undocumented closed source software.
• [CS] - stuff for the Griffith Uni Gold Coast Computer Society.
• [CVSWeb] - starbug's CVS repository on the web. Not all of this code is finished/useable/safe/readable...you would never guess that...
• Debugging Guide - a brief introduction to debugging with gcc/gdb that I wrote for a class I was teaching. This guide also includes an example Makefile for Solaris).
• endian.c - an program that demonstrates the difference between little and big endian byte orders. It writes out a user supplied number in both big and little endian format so they can be examined with an editor of some kind. Also contains functions to swap the byte order of numbers and to detect big endianess. It sort of accompanies this set of notes I wrote to accompany an assignment I wrote for a class I was teaching.
• The UgH! FTP site.
• libhash - a library for manipulating in-memory hash tables.
• Iain's List of Stuff - a better kind of list than this one.
• iTunes Scripts - a set of scripts for interacting with iTunes. They are designed to be called from hotkeys, using a program like KeyboardMaestro. There are scripts to skip to the {previous, next} track or to display which track is currently playing.
• JavaPluginCocoa.plugin - Getting Juniper's Secure Application Manager (JSAM) working with Safari 5.1
• longjmp.c - example code showing how to time out system calls such as read(2) by using non local gotos (setjmp(3)/longjmp(3)).
• newlist.pl - a perl script to add new mailing lists to majordomo.
• newmail - a program to check if you have new mail in multiple mail boxes. Great for procmail.
• NaN and Inf - brief notes on NaN, Inf and dealing with floating point maths.
• Oracle Error Codes - I found this somewhere on the web and it comes in handy at times.
• Oracle Setup - brief guide to using the sqlplus Oracle client on nias.
• My PGP key.
• poppwd - a daemon that implements the "Eudora password changing protocol". This allows Eudora and (compatible clients) to change their UNIX password from their mail client.
• Peering - an argument for a peering point on the Gold Coast.
• pw(8) patch - a patch to get pw(8) to compile under systems without login_cap(3) support such as OpenBSD and MacOSX.
• My experiences of owning a Salewa tent.
• setsockopt.c - code that shows you how to listen for incoming TCP connections. Places a timeout on reads (using setsockopt(2) ). This was written to demonstrate a bug in FreeBSD so doesn't do anything useful but should be helpful to people learning.
• srp.csh - a C shell script to remind me how to search and replace :-)
• submit - the assignment submission system I wrote to allow Griffith Uni Gold Coast INT students to easily submit assignments.
• Tracing NSEvents - using NSTraceEvents to see the sending and handling of events in Cocoa based programs.
• TCSH Settings - my tcsh settings directly from CVS. They even include a working completion for scp.
• Trip Photos 1 - Photos sporadically updated, of my trip to Europe.
• wait_on - a program that gives shell scripts access to some of the facilities provided by kqueue(3). It allows a shell script to sleep until a file is added to a directory or data is added to a file for example.
• WhichTrack? - a program to tell you which track iTunes is currently playing. Requires MacOS X 10.1.2 or above. I wrote it using AppleScript Studio which is very cool. It is designed to be run from a hot key such as those provided by KeyboardMaestro and as such will quit itself after a few seconds. Originally, AppleScripts run by KeyboardMaestro could not display dialogues but since version 1.0.1 they can so you may as well just use the scripts above.
• XF86Config - this is the XF86Config file from a friend's Toshiba 220CDS laptop. It took me so long to get it going in 800x600 that I thought I'd make the config file available to help anyone else attempting the same thing. This was using XFree86 4.2.0 and FreeBSD 4.6-PRERELEASE.
