Regan's Cornvalley scripts and sundries
I have done a number of programs for Peak, myself, and for hire. Generally when I do small jobs for hire, I use code and ideas from previous projects and retain rights to do what I want with the code so that I can use it elsewhere.
These programs were all written for specific purposes. If the programs were actually put into use, they probably work fairly well for that use, but may need work at another site. If the program wasn't put into use, there may still be significant bugs.
Use these programs at your own risk.
Project list described here:
- crossword
- The crossword program is used to generate simple crossword puzzles from your information.
- cvoracle
- The CVoracle program is a program for mediating between students and scientists for the Corvallis School District and OSU via the SEPS program.
- FillInForm
- A simple CGI program for processing forms.
- majordomo
- A Web front end for a popular mailing list server
- math
- A simple CGI program to generate arithmetic excercises.
- randimg
- A random image generation program.
- webc
- A simple HTML preprocessor.
- Web calendar generator
- Take a list of activities and make a set of calendar pages.
- Word search puzzle generator
- Build a word search puzzle.
- VI through RCS
- Check files out from RCS, edit, and then check back in.
The crossword is a program to generate crossword puzzles. I learned that quality crossword puzzles are very hard to generate. This makes simple puzzles instead. crossword
The CVoracle program was developed to facilitate interactions between students of the Corvallis School District and scientists on behalf of the SEPS program. The package should be general enough to allow for other forms of communications such as help desks. CVOracle
The package has a web interface as well as an email interface. It also keeps an archive of previously answered questions to allow people to find out what other people have asked and answered.
To see an example of the package in operation, check out the SEPS web site.
The FillInForm program is a simple CGI program which processes forms. It allows for the completed form to be viewed, and then sends the message off via email or to a logging directory. FillInForm
The majordomo mail list server is a quite popular. Unfortunately many people cannot seem to get themselves off of a mailing list to the annoyance of all. Majorodomo - A Web front end for a popular mailing list server
The majordomo CGI program is a simple program which generates requests to the appropriate majordomo server. This program does not even need to be installed on your server to make use of it.
The math program is a simple CGI program to generate arithmetic problems based upon certain parameters that the user can select. math
The randimg program is a trivial program to generate an image from a directory of images each time it is called. A random image generation program
The webc program is a simple preprocessor which adds a few commands to standard HTML. This allows some of the features of Server Side Includes such as file inclusion, but done once instead of when the file is sent to the client by the server. The syntax is more remenisent of the C preprocessor than of SSI. Webc - A Simple Web Compiler
Webc also allows perl code to be called from your HTML files. This allows you to have stock boilerplate text but have custom HTML generated by code inserted into the appropriate places.
The webc can also be used (with restrictions) in a CGI environment. This allows most of the HTML code to be edited and maintained in a traditional fashion, and only the variant parts need to be generated by Perl code.
I have used this program in a number of applications, and it does its job quite nicely.
The web.calendar program is used to generate a set of calendar web pages. The events can include HTML codes so that there can be links from the calendar to other web resources. Web calendar generator
The wordsearch program is used to generate word search puzzles. Word Search puzzle generator
The vic program is a simple wrapper program for vi (or whatever your $VISUAL environment variable is set to) that checks out a file from RCS, edits it, and then checks it back in. Vi through RCS
