Code Dump

Most of the things I write are simple perl/shell scripts or programs that only serve the purpose of learning something new. This page is a listing of those I thought might be of interest to others as well.

bbcode.c

January 2006. Simple BBCode to HTML converter written in plain C, for learning puroses. source

echoserv.c

February 2006. A simple non-blocking single-threaded TCP echo server, displaying how the select() system call can be used to handle multiple connections. source

yapong.c

Feburary 2006. Yet Another Pong, and yet another program written just for testing/learning purposes. Tested to work with the ncurses or pdcurses libraries. source (0.01)

Microdc2 log file parser

June 2007. Simple perl script that parses log files created by microdc2 and outputs a simple and ugly html file with all uploaded files. It correctly merges chunked uploads, calculates average upload speed per file and total bandwidth used for uploads. source

vinfo.c

November 2009. The public VNDB API was designed to be easy to use even from low level languages. I wrote this simple program to see how much work it would be to use the API in C, and as example code for anyone wishing to use the API for something more useful. Read the comments for more info. source
