This site is dedicated to all my computer work. It is organized by what programming language I used to write each program. It is pretty much here to be used as a resumë and to show off my programming skills.

Some categories may need explaining. 'WWW' is all my Web-related projects, including HTML, DHTML, Javascript, and all the other languages that are interpreted by a web browser.

The 'Mac' section is just miscellaneous hacks and enhancements for the MacOS, like Finder resource hacks and add-ons/extensions for Mac programs.

The 'Linux' section is home to all my shell scripts and other miscellaneous programs that do not warrant full sub-sections to themselves.

With all that being said, I hope some of these programs/utilities come in handy. If so, e-mail me at skamansam@gmail.com.

I finally finished the first leg of my web site management system, called SaMS (Sam's Management System). It is what runs this site. I still have a lot to do, but I believe I finished the most difficult part: the navigation system. I set it up to be able to handle any kind of navigation interface you would like, although I haven't tested it with anything but this one.

The goal was simple: to create a way to manage my website without having to worry too much about HTML and to extinguish the use of JavaScript. Most sites implement a navigation system based on JavaScript, and since I like my sites to be available to the largest audience, I don't have to worry about cross-browser JS implementations, because SaMS is written in Perl!

I still need to implement a way of updating the site via a simple web interface, but it seems to work more than well enough for me.

Check it out here!

Today I finished my first Perl program. My objective was to obtain my local IP address, insert that into a HTML file, then upload that to my earthlink webspace.

My first attempt was in Java, because I like to program in java, but it didn't return the correct address. I looked at C, then finally settled on Perl. Perl has all the necessary libs, and is really fast on my 7 year old machine.

The script is simple and short. First, it obtains the IP address from the output of ifconfig. Then it reads in my HTML file, and replaces all occurences of a pre-set string with my IP address. Finally, it uploads the changed file onto my earthlink server.

BAM! No need for a static IP address!

I made this the script to run when I log on, so I don't even have to manually run it.
