  • I would say this (https://github.com/ConceptJunkie/whereis), but it's not pointless. But I really do use it every day. It's based on a C program I wrote in the early 90s that I ported to Python about 10 years ago.

  • BigMcLargeHuge

    an action movie hero name generator

  • So, I'll have to say this (https://github.com/ConceptJunkie/BigMcLargeHuge).

    Various and sundry additional pieces of software I've written to incorporate into my exocortex.

  • A small daemon that listens on port 25/tcp on the loopback and pretends to be an SMTP server. Whatever e-mail it receives is picked apart to extract only the human-readable stuff and then pops it over to a lightweight REST API, where the message is then relayed via XMPP. I use it for systems that have to send daily reports off-system but I don't feel like setting up actual e-mail infrastructure for.
