This project contains assorted programs that I have written for everyday tasks. These programs are written in C++ and use the SDL graphics library, which means that they will run, and run fast, on nearly any operating system.

Currently available as a download from this site is:

Hexie: A hex editor (really, just a hex viewer) designed for reading through a file, understanding its format, and locating data in it.

Available only as source code is:

Gringotts: A command-line program for managing personal finances. Currently, you need to create a "~/.finances" file by hand to use it. Soon, I'll either add functions to Gringotts itself to create new accounts, or upload instructions on how to edit the file.

HyperList: A program for managing a set of hierarchical to-do lists.

hsiloP: A reverse polish notation calculator supporting a wide range of mathematical functions.

Mirth: A program for reading daily comics that are available online, without the annoying advertisements you would have to wade through in an ordinary web browser.

kwirki: A personal wiki that runs in the terminal.

ending: A program for changing line endings in a file from one format to another.

weatherscrape: A command line program (plus related shell scripts) for viewing the daily or weekly weather forecast.

notetaker: Programs (GUI and CLI) for writing short notes to yourself, including appending entries to a .reminders file for use by remind.

Note: I've switched from the Unix "make" utility to Scons for building the source code. If you're not using XCode (Mac OS X) or Visual Studio (Windows), you'll need a copy of Scons.

WriteAway: A distraction-free writing program, featuring margin notes and a full-screen interface.

And because it needs a home somewhere on the web, I may also upload:

Strange: A program that makes high-quality renderings of random Clifford attractors, and could be adapted to draw other fractals and chaotic attractors, as well.
