RailsConf 2008
Code
Here you can find code from some of the projects I’ve worked on. I believe in releasing software under as free a license as possible. This means that I use a BSD license, and not the GPL. (You can state your license philosophy where you release your code. Thanks.)
Note that I’m now running a trac installation for my open source projects, including my browseable Subversion repository. See also my trac main page.
  • accountomatic – web-based home accounting system, originally written in PHP but gleefully converted over to the Ruby on Rails framework. It’s one of the Rails Demo Apps.
  • anonomaticHTTP proxy tester; upgrade to LWP::UserAgent, providing transparent rotating anonymous proxies
  • apachomatic – Makefile-based Apache+PHP+XSLT build system (offshoot of corengine)
  • basesys – a metric assload of code open-sourced from my time spent working at Base Systems, Inc.
  • billdiff – diff-like tool to highlight the differences between version of a piece of legislation—would really work on any free-form text.
  • corengine – kitchen-sink content management. BSD licensed. (requires PHP, Apache, Mysql)
  • eventomatic – Ruby-based network calendar slurper (alpha-stage)
  • gramosplit – hacked version of Gramofile to perform command-line driven audio file splitting.
  • ipomatic – Provide a web page to find your dynamic IP from outside.
  • lawskills – the software running LawSkills.com and the entire caselaw and statute database !!!
  • litestream – by far the best unix-based audio streamer on the planet. I’m merely a maintainer (and I even use that term loosely).

  • nlug – code to run the Nashville Linux Users Group website
  • ph3p – a php preprocessor (part of corengine installation system)
  • rdtj – php-based mp3 jukebox
  • spam graylist – some help with fishing hams from your spam bucket
  • syncatomatic – apachomatic-style Makefile-based build system for Syncato and it’s umpteen depend encies
