Kragen's software

• arrayfrombuffer, which lets you memory-map files full of binary data in Python as Numerical Python arrays.
• picturepages, for showing off a bunch of your photos with minimal effort.
• Precomputed Tic-Tac-Toe.
• hexpaper: make hexagonal graph paper in PostScript. This guy produces graph paper roughly suitable for isometric drafting or laying out biointensive gardens. I have a copy of its output converted to PDF for your convenience.
• hextextpaper: make hexagonal graph paper out of biointensive mini-farming propaganda. This is a silly modification of the previous program; it uses text from various biointensive web pages instead of dots in its output. I have PDF output from it, too.
• prpik: print people I know. This Perl script reads in an ASCII text file in a particular format and generates a directory full of HTML files describing people I know.
• usershell and own-tty. Usershell lets you start a Linux shell as a particular user when, say, your machine boots, instead of having to log in every time. own-tty lets you run any program connected to an arbitrary tty, assuming nothing else is using that tty. One known user.
• A quick-and-dirty implementation of err.h from 4.4BSD, done when I wanted to compile some BSD software (boggle) for Linux and couldn't find a ready-made implementation of <err.h> for Linux.
• Boggle, from the BSD games directory. I took the version from NetBSD-current on ftp.digital.com on 1998-03-18 and hacked at it until it compiled pretty cleanly.
• Kragen's Dynamic DNS
• A command-line dictionary-lookup program that uses the web; there's a fetcher, a postprocessor, and a tiny shell script that ties them together, available in a single tar file for convenience; they're written in Perl, use netcat, and were tested in Linux. Last updated 7 January 1998.
• prototype macro language for the WWW
• metext, another one, which I've been using more recently, which doesn't actually have macro capabilities. Every time I've really needed a macro, I've added it into the script. So it's pretty ugly, but it takes the typing out of HTML. Written in Perl. No documentation.
• cheapo Markov-chain text modeler
• A desk calculator, written in Tcl with Tk. Little functionality so far. If you have the Tcl plugin, you can use it in your Web browser at calc.tcl.
• A searchable index of the RFCs, last updated 2 September 1997. It's just a webbification of some command-line stuff I'd put together, which I actually use much more frequently. Note that a similar service using Harvest is available from the InterNIC.
