Software

Programs I've written. These are free.

Apps (Mac only)

JMEd.app: A front end for the Digitech JamMan loop pedal.

PileUp.app: Assemble a series of images into a composite image. An experiment to see whether adding up frames from a low light video could be interesting.

Also, my visual music software can be tested: see here.

PERL

Perl scripts, which can be run from the Terminal. (some available as .apps for OS X users, thanks to ScriptGUI).

pixdate	Change image file names to their creation date, in YYMMDD format.
AddrBk	Make a compact, printable list of entries from OS X Address Book vCard format.
backup	Keep a synchronized copy of the chosen directories. Only copies files that have been modified.
phrases	Make an index-like list of phrases from a text or html document.

Also, here's a description of a multiple-document indexing program I was developing for a while: nedlinks.

PERL one-liners

Type at command line.

Macs get confused by files without extensions (like .txt for text files). Adds ".txt" to every file in current directory (if lacking it):


perl -e 'opendir D,"."; @f=readdir(D); map{-f and !/\.txt/ and
rename("$_","$_.txt");} @f'

(of course you can change the extension)

My friend Stephen once wondered how many words could be typed with just the typewriter keys under the left hand. Find out:

cat /usr/share/dict/words | perl -e 'while(<>)
{/^[qwertasdfgzxcvb]+$/i and print}' > leftHandWords.txt

or right hand:

cat /usr/share/dict/words | perl -e 'while(<>)
{/^[yuiophjklnm]+$/i and print}' > rightHandWords.txt

I get left and right. Hmm, I'm not sure all of those are real words.

Stephen responded:

"You no phony, you million joy John, you holy monk, you hunk!

(A good left-handed compliment has been harder to come up with.)"

To which I replied:

"That's ok, I prefer not to receive left-handed compliments."

FLTK

I've been working with the fltk widget kit.

My method for using the FLUID UI tool: fluid tips.

Some widgets I've written. Source code here, including demo programs.

Piano

NoteChooser

Flippy: a simple flippy-triangle Fl_Group
