base64 encoder / decoder

Here's a very simple base64 encoder / decoder written in PHP. Useful for posting things to social networks when you feel anti-social or only want crypto-nerds to read it :)

Instant music machine

In 2005 I became interested in computer-generated music, and wrote this little program in Actionscript. It plays the piano with the notes/scale you specify (click on the keyboard to change note choice), with configurable tempo, range, and number of voices.

I was really happy to recover this from an old hard drive today. It still works beautifully, 6 years later! Next, I'd like to write a native program that generates midi signals/files, with better visualization and control.

Visualize logs with graph.sh

I wrote a command-line script to help expose frequency spikes in server logs, by outputting a sparkline image. This makes it easy to get a quick sense of what happened to your server, without having to dig through gigabytes of data.

HaikuFox: a Haiku/BeOS style theme for Firefox

Haiku is the amazing rebirth of the long-abandoned BeOS. HaikuFox is a Firefox theme by Doug Shelton bringing the BeOS look to the browser. I really enjoyed using the theme for FF 2.x, but alas, it was never released for 3.x. So here I'll try porting it and see what happens :)

Jan 16, 2011: Initial import of the original theme, plus some basic modifications to make it work in 3.6.x. Currently in directory form, no .jar distribution yet.

"What's my IP address?" service

It was long ago that I got tired of searching Google for "what's my ip address" and getting spam-filled sites that want to eat my computer alive. So I created a little Drupal module to do this for me, without the ads. Easy!

Usage

Just point your browser to:

http://s8f.org/ip

Progressbar

This is a portable progress bar for shell scripts written in PHP. It is contained in a class and is pretty easy to use:

Download

$ wget http://s8f.org/scripts/S8f_Progress.php

Usage

<?php
include_once 'S8f_Progress.php';
$total = 100000;
$current = 0;
$p = new S8f_Progress($total);
while ($current++ < $total) {
  $p->output();
}
?>

Very useful for monitoring long batch scripts. Credit to Brian Link at Terra Eclipse for this script.
