    https://github.com/ThomasHabets/cmdg

    I wanted to use GMail from a fast cli that used the native gmail API.

    https://github.com/ThomasHabets/rslurp

    I wanted to download concurrently and according to patterns. Ok, so honestly this one probably exists somewhere in a form that I would like, but I couldn't find it.

    https://github.com/ThomasHabets/sim

    I wanted multi-party authorization for sudo, and couldn't find one.

    https://github.com/ThomasHabets/monotonic_clock

    People kept using gettimeofday, so this is part of my compaign against it. (see https://blog.habets.se/2010/09/gettimeofday-should-never-be-...)

    https://github.com/ThomasHabets/gtping

    I worked in mobile core networks, and wanted a "ping" that used the GTP protocol since that won't be firewalled.

    https://github.com/ThomasHabets/ind

    I wanted my bash scripts to have automatic indentation, while not sacrificing buffering latency and such.

    https://github.com/ThomasHabets/tlscheck

    I wanted a simple tool to audit my TLS certificates for expiry.

    https://github.com/google/huproxy

    I was travelling to China on vacation and wanted a VPN out that would be unlikely to be blocked by the great firewall. Ok, so there are many VPN-like tools for getting through the GFW. Maybe it was just an excuse for me to write it. Honestly ssh -D would have likely worked just fine. It's being used by the keymaster project now though, so maybe it did something right: https://github.com/Cloud-Foundations/keymaster/blob/master/d...

    https://github.com/google/tcpauth

    I wanted to lock down SSH to anyone who doesn't have a secret key (and portknocking is usually ridiculous). Why not use TCP MD5 for it? https://github.com/google/tcpauth
