Software
I develop and maintain free software in my spare time. Most of the software packages available here are for Apple's Mac OS X operating system. They are distributed as free, open-source software under the terms and conditions of the Free Software Foundation's GNU General Public License. Some of them are on my GitHub account if you feel like lending a hand.
That being said, if you find my software titles useful, please consider making a donation. I rely on your support in improving them and developing new ones.
Platypus
Platypus is a developer tool that creates Mac OS X applications from scripts written in interpreted scripting languages. Such scripts can thus be run transparently through the native graphical window environment instead of running through a terminal client.
Sloth
Sloth is a Mac OS X graphical application frontend for the lsof tool. It displays a list of all open files in use by all the applications your user account is running on the system -- and, optionally, all IP and Unix sockets, character devices and directories, along with their owning applications.
Sentinel
Sentinel is a Mac OS X application which faciliates monitoring and observing command output. By allowing the process output to be monitored with periodic execution, it becomes easy to observe changes over time. In a way, Sentinel is similar to the watch command line program, but includes additional features, such as diff-ing output with previous output and colouring lines of output that have changed.
Data URL Toolkit
A collection of open-source programs for working with Data URLs.
Mentat
A fast, lightweight Perl-based personal website management system which powers a number of currently active websites, including this one.
