Software

This page contains link to the various bits of software I’ve written and that are available in some or other form.

  • envedit is a user-friendly Windows Environment Editor, for modifying those pesky environment variables.
  • DeVIDE is the Delft Visualisation and Image processing Development Environment.
  • pam_pwdfile is a Pluggable Authentication Module that you can use to authenticate users for any service with flat text username:password files.
  • vtkFlRenderWindowInteractor is a C++ class for combining FLTK and VTK.

I also make available (sometimes slightly modified) Python-enabled Windows builds of VTK and ITK:

  • Latest VTK binaries.

There are also two webapps that you might find useful:

  • The Paper CD Cover generator
  • ical to vcal converter (google calendar to palm desktop)

I’ve been futzing around long enough so that I even have some deprecated code for you to play with. “Deprecated” of course means that you shouldn’t bug me about these.

  • im2avi is an application for making AVI films/movies from series of images.
  • dri_reinit represents the first ever solution to allow Linux-running and DRI-enabled Radeon-equipped laptops to suspend and resume from disc.
  • dri_resume was the second and improved solution to the above problem. It has since been integrated with the relevant code-bases. Linux x86 laptop support still mostly sucks, however.
  • LinuxWatchdogDrivers has three embedded computer watchdog drivers for Linux that I wrote years ago whilst working for [WWW] Crusader Systems developing, well, embedded systems.

The following code is SEVERELY EXPERIMENTAL. This means it will probably blow up your computer.

  • hdstandby is some Windows code that I slapped together to set the hardware standby timeout on ATA hard drives. On some setups, this built-in timeout still causes spindowns even if the Windows power settings have been configured otherwise. This little utility MIGHT help in this regard. It might blow up your computer. Go here to chat about this utility. Marty Vona has written a patch that will also disable APM on the drive, just like hdparm -B 255.
