0.2.3-zzz | bomberman clone (written in C++) -- cooperative project with bb-generation

bgrep
(Prerelease)(2005-03-16 22:42) (2005-03-01 first) |
0.8.2-pre | bgrep means binary grep.
It scans files (especially block devices) for blocks matching given patterns or CRC32 hashes.
This can be used for disaster recovery, e.g. restoring parts of deleted files on ext3 partitions given CRC32 hashes of the data blocks are available; but as bgrep in this version only outputs the block number of matching blocks, this requires some (read: a lot ;) ) additional manual work using combinatory thinking and dd. (Don't expect large files on ext[23] to be laid out continously on disk; every now and then, there are indirect blocks inserted or other data is interleaved.) Please note that this is only a preversion of what bgrep once might become. |
Shell scripts, Perl scripts
Here are some small scripts for Bash and Perl I found to be more or less useful for myself. The scripts are shell scripts if not indicated otherwise. Dates in parentheses: Last update, (sometimes estimated) begin of development. (all versions)
| File | Ver | Description |
|---|---|---|
zzzdl(2003-10-06 01:33) (2003-03-09 first) |

optionally date-tag both (using -d)
|
zzzwget(2003-06-08 15:04) (2003-04-23 first) |
– | download files whose URLs are in _url in the cwd
(or in the file specified with -f; supports entering passwords at
runtime and putting the resulting password-containing URLs in a
temporary file only readable by the user. (The file is removed
even when aborted/if crashed.)

zzz4-fixrelsymlinks
(Perl)(2003-12-12 03:36) (2003-12-12 first) |
0.1.3 | scans directories (given as arguments or current working directory) for symlinks;
checks them for and fixes "known ambiguities" local to zzz4 --
but modifying it for another environment should be fairly easy:
just put some other s/// / s### (substitution) lines in place of the current ones fixrelsymlinks outputs some statistics at the end, warns when a detected ambiguity could not be fixed and gives error messages when a symlink can neither be fixed nor points to an existing file now
|
zzzsplitstream

0.1.4 | splits Ogg streams into separate files for each track;

zib
(Perl)(2006-06-05 06:20) (2006-05-19 first) |
0.2.3 | zib is zzznowman's IRC bot. It's based on Net::IRC and written in a rather modular way, so large parts of its code base will be reloadable at run time, enabling incremental development without need of restarts or reconnects. Currently, only the request handlers (ZIB::RequestHandlers, defining what "commands" zib knows and reacts to,) are reloadable at runtime, though. |
