There are several programming projects I'm playing with. This makes for a hodge-podge of links and I don't always take the time to make cleanly installable packages. Not good of me, I know.

If you have questions, feel free to email me.

PlanetLab March 29, 2008

PlanetLab is a global research platform for distributed service research. Once part of the network (universities and companies join by donating computers to the network), once can create virtual machines all over the world to develop and test new concepts in wildly distributed applications.

Some Coding To Share July 2, 2006
Apache mod_nocase   Out of the box, Linux Apache has case-sensitive URL resolution and no easy way to do it differently.  This module plugs into Apache 1.3 and allows case-insensitive URL resolution against the Linux filesystem.

PHP NowPlaying.php The Audiotron from Turtle Beach is a nest device that plugs into your home network, searches for MP3's (or WAV's or WMA's) and plays them through your stereo system. I wrote a little PHP script that reads the current status from the Audiotron, parses the HTTP, converts the Audiotron status text into XML, parses the XML using the PHP functions and then generates a table. This script is used at my LivingroomCam site.

X/Linux xfaces XWindows/Linux app that displays " picons" for mail in your mailbox.  Load the Picon Database and run xfaces and you will have a mailbox view way better then xbiff.  The project is now hosted at SourceForge so, get your sources and binaries is the real scoop at The Faces Project. The most recent version has been Gtk'ed and I've added POP and IMAP handling.
