This is where I keep some of the coding projects that I do for fun during my free time.
The Open Command Prompt Shell Extension adds an "Open Command Prompt" menu item to the context menus (right-click menus) in Windows Explorer so that you can open a command prompt in the selected directory (or directories) or in the current directory that you are viewing.
The Open Command Prompt Shell Extension is very lightweight, supports network paths, is available in multiple languages, and is open-source.
This is the blogging platform that I wrote from scratch for the fun of it. Aside from the fun and the challenge, I wrote this because none of the major blogging packages suited my rather specific and particular needs. This is the blogging platform that powers my personal blog.
This is a customizable and extensible comics aggregator that I wrote using Perl. For a given date, it will gather together all the comics for that particular date and place them on a single generated page in an order specified by user configuration. This is, in effect, just like looking at a newspaper's comics section.
This aggregator was written years ago, long before RSS feeds were commonplace, but even today, I still use kComics every morning because RSS aggregation, although more flexible and extensible, cannot do this job as well.
Since not everyone has httpd running on localhost and since hosting kComics on a centralized public server is wasteful, I plan on porting kComics to the Mozilla toolkit (read: Firefox extension) so that it can be used by a wider audience.
ClassicFox is a Firefox/Thunderbird extension that fixes the appearance of the default Firefox/Thunderbird theme in Windows Classic. Specifically, it restores menus to the classic style, it restores the missing bevels (outlines) on toolbar buttons that have dropmarkers, and, in Firefox 3, it restores the Classic bevel to the address bar and search box. ClassicFox is customizable, and users can choose which of these "fixes" to enable.
QuickDrag is a Firefox extension that extends the function of the drag-and-drop mouse gesture so that it can be used to load URLs, do a web search of selected text on a page, or save an image on a page—all with a simple drag-and-drop.
URL Flipper is a Firefox extension that allows you to easily increment or decrement a portion of a URL without having to manually edit the text in the Location Bar.
kJournal is a diary-keeping program for Windows featuring password-protected user logins and data storage that is scrambled using the user password. Although I still use it, I have not updated it since 2001. Anyone who wants a free copy can contact me.
kPerl is a simple Windows-based text editor / IDE that I wrote many years ago for editing Perl. However, now that there are a number of editors available, kPerl has outlived its purpose, and I no longer use it or maintain it, and the source code has been zipped up and dumped into a dusty corner of my archives.
