Free Software


GNU's Not UNIX!

I'm a maintainer of some of the software in the GNU operating system. License information is available in the respective program's home page. I have also done some other non-software volunteering for GNU in the past.

The GNUtrition nutritional analysis software. (local copy)

For installation instructions, please see the program's INSTALL file.

My free software

Since 2021, I have written a series of free software and scripts to automate various processes. These include implementations of random ideas, as well as scripts to automate things that I needed to get done at some time. Nothing here is particularly useful at the moment, but there is still likely some value in the software.

Contributing to my software projects.

Aperture Photo Gallery
Aperture (formerly known as PhotoGen) is a free software on-line photo gallery generator. You may preview the latest version on my personal photo gallery.

This program is meant to run on a web server with ucgi. See Ian Jackson's userv-utils for more information. This program requires the Passwd::Unix module to retrieve the user's full name. On Debian-based systems, the package name is libpasswd-unix-perl. To disable this, remove use Passwd::Unix; and my $UNIX = Passwd::Unix->new; near the top of the file, and replace the value of my $FULLNAME = $UNIX->gecos($USERNAME); with the full name that you want to use. On single-user web sites, you will want to replace /~${USERNAME} with /.

Version 0.2.0 and later require Image::MetaData::JPEG and Image::ExifTool 'ImageInfo'. On Debian-based systems, the package names are libimage-metadata-jpeg-perl and libimage-exiftool-perl/.

Coco Timer
Coco Timer is a very small script that calculates the time it was since Coco died.

Mega Millions Number Generator
Mega Millions is a lottery game that is offered in multiple states in the United States of America. The program offered here is a rather simple numbers generator that uses the number ranges that were available on a lottery card bought in Ohio.

Missing Link
Missing Link is a script that looks for empty href tags. In a sense, it's a more limited and possibly poorly implemented grep, but it's free software, and was made to serve a specific purpose, and more free software isn't hurting anyone. It exists primarily as a basic proof of concept.

Password Generator
Password Generator is what the name implies. It currently only works with 32-character random strings. This utility was first made when I worked at the University of Akron's IT help desk and needed to do password resets on staff/student accounts regularly.

Phonic Pronunciation Generator
Phonic Pronunciation Generator is what the name implies. It only works with alphanumeric characters. This utility was first made when I worked at the University of Akron's IT help desk and needed to read strings of letters and/or numbers over the phone regularly.

Presumed RRD Scripts
Presumed RRD Scripts is a bandwidth graph utility. It is based on Mitch's RRD scripts.

Users List
Users List is a very simply and very rigid user home page list generator. It was originally made for an old shell server project that eventually got merged in with the rest of the *.presumed.net project.
Other software/script/code projects, including small ones I didn't feel needed its own web site, may be found in my personal CVS and/or git repositories.
