Ask HN: Have you created programs for only your personal use?
A few that I've written to scratch my own itch or fill a need. Some of which I ended up sprucing up a bit and publishing publicly.
sitesync - Program that could sync files and folders on local file system and remote (FTP or SFTP). Mainly used to help maintain a web site that other people were also modifying. It allowed me to develop on my local copy and push changes without clobbering anything someone else had changed. (Unpublished)
erudite - [0] - Pull articles from Instapaper or Pocket and add to your ebook library (including Hacker News integration that includes URLs for corresponding posts!)
bday - [1] - The super simple birthday and anniversary reminder program. Wrote for myself but several family members also like it. Originally on Windows and then ported to Linux as well.
moviesschedule - [2] - Tracks Australian movie release dates and can even maintain a Google calendar of the movies you are interested in.
coffeegrinder - Java program to help fold automation of coffeescript compilation to javascript. Included optional GUI for viewing javascript version updates whenever the .coffee file was saved. (Unpublished)
bom - A little web-site and FTP scraper to retrieve local weather info from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology. (Unpublished)
bgdicecalc - Little GUI program to easily figure out probabilities for various dice rolls in Backgammon. Want to convert this to a web-page some time. (Unpublished)
feedme - Web-site scraper to create RSS feeds of various comic strips (e.g. Dilbert) with the image directly in the feed. (Unpublished)

Use Plain-Text Email
Partly the reason I wrote and use this command line client for GMail: https://github.com/ThomasHabets/cmdg
- Command Line Gmail Client

Ask HN: What are some tools / libraries you built yourself?
Also became a fun learning experience about terminals.
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
