Smaller Projects and Scripts

Misc

add_prefix, after compiling software and installing it into your own --prefix, this bash script prepends the needed environment variables (PKG_CONFIG_PATH, PYTHONPATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, etc.) to make things work as if it were globally installed.
colorwindow, trying the D programming language and PyD on AMD64... I guess it was too much bleeding-edge at once :-) It is a pygtk program displaying pixels calculated in D. Plus some patches I had to do to make it work.
wanzebackup.py, rsync back up of remote PCs to my workstation. Timestamp directories, hardlink unchanged files, keep many fresh backups and fewer old ones.
xmodem, an XModem 1k CRC sender in python
karte-1.0.tar.gz, a commandline interface for www.swissgeo.ch. Try './karte' to see how to use it.
parport, examples how to program the parallel port
sigcheck, remember seen software signatures
bigroom.py, an xchat plugin for big support channels. Hides unrelated join/part/nickchanges, highlights questions from newcomers, highlights threads. (screenshot)
antiaway.py, an xchat plugin to stop "* nick is away: somestupidreason" messages from highlighting the channel
polydiv-1.0.tar.gz, Polynomdivision in C
retry, start commands again and again until they succeed
