Software

I'm not a software developer, but I do occasionally write useful scripts or patches to open source software.

Scripts

• A shell script I've written to review images from a digital camera and rotate if necessary: reviewimg
• A quick shell script I knocked up to draw a map of the UK, where cities I have visited are shown in red and unvisited ones in green. It's very basic and takes no options, so you will need to customise it according to your requirements. The co-ordinates in the files were obtained by looking up the latitude and longitude of central locations in each city. I release the shell script into the public domain, for what it's worth. Requires Generic Mapping Tools and ImageMagick.
  • ukmap.sh: The shell script.
  • unvisited.xy: Sample file containing cities to be marked in red.
  • visited.xy: Sample file containing cities to be marked in red.

Patches

• A patch to add pubDate elements to RSS feeds from Personal Weblog. I needed to do this so my feed played nicely with Planet. To apply run patch -p0 < weblog-1.0-rsspubdate.patch.
