Programming

Here are some samples of my programming work in various languages.

RazorForm. A very useful PHP library for creating and working with HTML forms. It includes features for easily validating form submissions, creating the look and feel with CSS styles, displaying alternate styles for fields with errors, and many more.

oh8. A database web project for my local church congregation. It has features for tracking member data, organization staffing, an events calendar, and a way to email members of any given organization. Written in embedded Perl (HTTP::Embperl) with a MySQL database behind it. A little bit of fancy JavaScript, too.

selcopy. A script that facilitates the process of copying select files from one directory to another. Useful for when the source directory structure is very large, and you need to pick and choose a file here and a file there.

as-yet-unnamed cms. I've been working on a little content management system for small websites, written in PHP. It is intended as a tool for making sites quickly, for those who already know HTML and PHP.

tracknum. This script is for taking a directory full of music files that start with a track number and changing the number of each file by the specified positive or negative amount. Useful for taking mp3 files from a 2-disc set and putting them in order into a single directory.

stiletto. This is a work in progress. A linux app written in Python that will eventually take an image and cut it up based on user-defined areas, then spit out the HTML. I'm using PyQt as the gui toolkit. So far, it doesn't do much besides draw red rectangles (which can be endlessly amusing).

ipcheck. When Excite@Home crumbled, it looked like my IP address was going to start changing all the time. So I wrote this little Python script to notify me if it ever changed.

The Tick. (not to be confused with the popular cartoon character). A sweet little idea for pre-loading images on a website taking advantage of a user's idle time. So when they go to the next page, the images are already in the browser's cache.
