Converts obscure ".art" files that were generated from "VGA Art Studio" into bmps. If you have a ".art" file, it is almost certainly a different format.
A quick hack, but it works.

histogram [--usage] [--help] [--man] [--version]
histogram [--include-zero|--zero|-z] [--min-data-points|-m <num>]
[--noise|-N <threshold>] [--numeric|-n]
[--percentual|-p] [--step|-s <step>] [--tail|-t <length>]
# Generating histogram's data
shell$ grep 'interesting' file.txt | gawk '{print $3}' | histogram
# If you have numbers you can keep ordering a divide into "classes"
shell$ histogram --step 10 --numeric data-column.txt
This utility produces histograms out of input data. Every line in input
(except the optional newline) is regarded as an item, and a count
is kept for each different item. After the counting phase is terminated,
the label-count pairs are printed in output, ordered by count, descending.
This is the basic work mode.
If you happen to know that your inputs are numbers, and you care about
keeping them in order, you can specify --numeric|-n. This will make
sure that you'll have something resembling a distribution, and also that
all the gaps between will be filled (at integer intervals). If also
want 0 to be included, however far it may be, just pass option
--include-zero|--zero|-z.
Moreover, if your data are numeric, and you'd rather group them by
steps (e.g. 0-9, 10-19, ecc.) you can pass option --step|-s. Steps
start all from 0, and need not be integer ones.

pcap2mpeg is a script to extract data from a network capture of an IPTV session and saves it to a file which can be viewed as mpeg. IPTV uses the UDP protocol and is (in this case) sent via multicast addresses.
The capture has to be in pcap format (tcpdump or wireshark).

Last year I finally had to give up my plain-text mail client and start using outlook, and also lost my linux workstation. Transitioning to outlook wasn't as hard as I'd expected -- it has a lot of keyboard shortcuts -- but I missed the unix calendar program's daily mails. I threw together this quick script to email myself a daily calendar preview, and set it up in my task scheduler to run every morning.

This script converts strings like:
sam i am egg an ham
To the equivalent RFC1751 128-bit hex string:
3a439c0688701e31
Note that the algorithm includes two parity bits.
If you start the program interactively with Term::ReadLine::Gnu or Term::ReadLine::Perl installed, you should find tab completion on rfc1751 words follows. It also will attempt to find a valid sequence in every 6 words entered. Use '-v' to see all of the attempts, and not just the successful ones.

quick and dirty cryptogram puzzle

Here's a little game that I made today. It finds a fortune using the fortune command, scrambles the letters using a substitution cipher, and has you guess what each letter represents.
This requires fortune and gtk2-perl
This can be challenging. If you have trouble, either increase the mininum fortune size or use the Jack Bauer fortune file.
It can also be very easy. A lot of fortunes have unique patterns that are easy to spot.
I made this for my grandfather, but I don't know if I'll have a chance to set it up on his computer.

Punch hole inbound for Apple NAT-PMP Router

Recent apple base-stations understand the Apple-created (but open documented) "NAT-PMP" protocol to dynamically establish forwarded ports. This is similar to the uPnP protocol for windows-compatible firewalls.
I couldn't find any existing tool to forward an arbitrary port, but hey, it's just simple UDP, so I whipped up this Perl program to do the forwarding.
Adjust the capitalized configuration constants in this program as follows:
- $GATEWAY
- Internal IP address of your NAT-PMP-enabled router
- $PROTO
- 1 = udp, 2 = tcp
- $EXTERNAL
- external port on router to map
- $INTERNAL
- internal port on your box to map to
- $TIME
- Time in seconds to keep alive (max one hour = 3600)
Then let it run in the background. It'll start by printing the external IP address of the router if all goes well, and then it'll start mapping the port. Every half of $TIME (as recommended), it'll renew the mapping for another $TIME seconds.
Quick and dirty. No warrantees expressed or implied.

A WebDAV server with authentication

This is a small WebDAV server I use for serving files to other people. WebDAV is quite convenient for serving files because "all three" operating systems offer a client that allows you to treat a WebDAV share as a remote file system. It extends the sample code of Net::DAV::Server to provide HTTP basic authentication, so it can be exposed on the internet without being completely open.
I've implemented a separation of privileges into "readers" and "writers", but so far I haven't felt the need to export write privileges. So maybe that part shouldn't have been written at all, in the spirit of Dominus.
On the side of prerequisites, this one is quite heavy. It uses Net::DAV::Server, which in turn pulls in XML::LibXML. It uses Filesys::Virtual, Authen::Htpasswd and HTTP::Daemon.
