I'm trying to gather an assortment of my old projects together here, so this list will be growing as I add more of these later.

Some sundry perl scripts:

Film/Video Library Scripts
    The ISU online film/video library at filmlib.indstate.edu is powered by
perl scripts interacting with a MySQL database. This was a great project actually,
it runs on a old freebie 486, Linux and on totally GPL'ed software, so the total cost
of implementing the online database was exactly $0.00! (For Linux fans, this
note: They said it couldn't be done for under $1500. They said it would take NT
and M$ SQL Server. They said they'd have to learn NT administration. They said
they couldn't afford to do it. I said, "Linux.")

  • The init cgi, this is the main hub for the whole works: init.cgi
  • The display cgi, for displaying results of searches: display.cgi
  • The modification cgi: dbmodify.cgi
  • The email cgi, which sends in the actual reservation: mail.cgi
  • Here's a neat little admin util I made for the fim/video library to use as a front end to their linux server, so they wouldn't even have to learn a single unix command to administrate their database!

    • Some sundry C programs:

    Here's a niftly little C program of mine. Believe it or not, a user on one of my machines actually asked me if I would set it up so random funny haiku error messages would appear instead of the boring Error 404. Hey, sounded sorta cool to me, so I whipped up this neat little C program to display random lines from a text file (which I formatted in htll). I just use a simple server-side include to run the C prog and voila: Happy Users!
    Try it out if you like.

    I'm also the author of a goofy little stock tracking program for Linux called vast (The "Very Apropos Stock Tracker"). You can download the latest version at vast.sourceforge.net. Try it! :)

    Some sundry shell scripts:

    In the days before we had these nifty project tracking software packages, I made a cool little project board for my people at the FCRC to use. The entire thing is written in ultra-simplistic UNIX shell scripts (bash ones, even!) I copied it over to this account so anyone who wanted to could play around with it, so feel free to add make-believe projects, archive them, etc. (The password is "nopassword".) Enjoy!
