This page is an attempt to capture some of my miscellaneous scripts and dotfiles, in case they might be of any use to anyone.

• Lily-related scripts
• bluebg: Generates a low color (16 color dithered) graduated blue->black background for X. Very pretty, and very easy on limited color maps (like 8 bit suns) It requires bggen (which comes with xv) and xli. It can be used with xv as well, but i've found that xli dithers better.
• sluggy: Fetches today's Sluggy Freelance comic strip. Doesn't work for sundays.
• excuse: Fetches an excuse from the BOFH Excuse Server
• rot13: Yes, it is just as dumb as it sounds :)
• titlebar: A script for changing the xterm title. I got this from.. someone.
• loggo: A spiffy syslog log analysis tool that I wrote.
• unmac: Convert Macintosh text files to unix format.
• search_net.cgi: This is the cgi used in the search form on my home page. It knows how to search a whole bunch of different search engines when used like a form like the one on my home page.
• serial.pl: This is some sample code for accessing a serial port from perl under UNIX.
• meeting_maker_export_parse.pl: Parses Meeting Maker's HTML schedule exports. Maybe this is useful to someone besides me.
• schedule_parse: Parses RPI's disgusting web-based class hour schedule into a more readable text-based format. I'm no longer maintaining this scripts, since i've graduated. I've turned it over to the RPI ACM. They have the summer 99 schedule (as generated by my script) online here.
• catchup_mirafiori.cgi: [src]: marks all messages read on the mirafiori fiat page forum. (an annoying flaw in the forum software they use is that there is no way to "catch up" all unread messages.
• devmap: Solaris uses device names such as "sd0" to refer to disk devices in the kernel and in utilities such as "iostat". This program prints out a mapping of these device names to the physical devices in /dev.
• lily-bug-report: Mail gateway to the sourceforge bug tracking system.
• satellite-pass-info: Digest info from heavens-above.com's satellite tracking database into a quick textual report.
• resolveips: Resolve anything that looks like an IP address in a file (or stdin) Leaves the rest of the file (and any unresolvable IPs) intact. Useful for piping into when grepping log files, for instance.

Scripts I didn't write, but I consider handy:

• aggis: This is a great tool for calculating subnet masks, prefixes, etc.
• dejagrep: A cool script that damien wrote which does a query against dejanews and puts the results into an mbox-style mailbox file that you can read with any mail program.
