cwm

cwm is a window manager found in OpenBSD's xenocara tree (xenocara/app/cwm). I found myself in the situation that I also wanted to run this brilliant window manager on other systems than OpenBSD, but due to cwm's use of some OpenBSD specific definitions and functions it was not immediately possible. I have therefore made a "special edition" of cwm that includes the missing bits and happily compiles on e.g. GNU/Linux. Click here if you dare to try it out :-)

check_apcupsd

Nagios plugin to monitor battery charge, internal temperature, load, time left and performance data for one or more APC Smart-UPSes and Back-UPSes. It has grown over time and now has its own page.

Netwatch is a small script that helps one detect unauthorised DHCP servers on a LAN. Click on the link to read the whole story.

Yet another music player... (so far only an idea)

I am thinking about writing my own minimalistic mp3/ogg player in C using libsdl, libogg, lame and curses. I know that hundreds of players exist at the moment, but I am not doing it because I desperately need a player with special, non-existent functionality. I am doing it because I like the process of coding it. I guess that is exactly why hundreds of players exist today :-)

If it ever becomes more than an idea in my head, the player will be ISC licensed (the default license in the OpenBSD community) and available here.

The user interface will be inspired by Winamp, XMMS, ncmpc, Vim and Irssi.
