| LightsOn/LightsOff | A couple of perl scripts to turn on and turn off all the lights in an X10-wired house. They use Device::SerialPort and ControlX10::CM17 to control those devices through a firecracker module. The perl modules are both avaialble from CPAN (see how-to-install CPAN stuff). The scripts are simple, but it's nice to stick them in an "at" job to replace an alarm or something like that... | LightsOn.pl(size) LightsOff.pl(size) |
1.0 - stable |
| findVNC | A perl port scanner (kinda) that will search through a given IP range and find VNC servers listening on that subnet. It's pretty customizable, and is also available as a CGI. The CGI version will provide a link to the web interface of each VNC server | findVNC.pl(size) findVNC.cgi(size) |
Both versions are not quite fully functional. Soon... |
| rlame | Distributed mp3 encoder using lame and rsh. Designed for use with grip for the time being, future versions will have more generic support. | rlame(size) | 1.1 - stable |
| dormroute | Floppy disk image for a computer with 1 or 2 network cards being used as a firewall/router in a dorm room, for example, to connect 2 (or more) computers through a single wall jack. The primary interface receives its address via DHCP, and the remaining computers are statically assigned 192.168.1.10-19 and 192.168.1.20-29. I will be usign DHCP for the internal machines soon, and the web monitoring interface will be cleaned up. | dormroute-current(size) dormroute_fs(size) dormroute_kernel_config(size) |
0.53 - beta |
| cableroute | Another floppy disk image for hooking up an existing internal network to a cable modem. The internal network uses 192.168.0.*, and the cable modem gets a static IP. Similar to dormroute, without the DHCP server or client. The next version will prompt the user for the internal network address and for its IP address, and will include DHCP client functionality. An expanded web administration interface will be the next step. Both disk images require a 486 with at least 4MB RAM and a PCI network card (intel pro/100, 3-com 3c509/590, rtl8139, PCI NE2000 - I think). More instructions are in the linked directory. | cableroute-current(size) cableroute_fs(size) cableroute_kernel_config(size) |
