Concerns

of arbinger systems

Go ahead and read my blog. It contains some occasionally useful thoughts on technology, and even sometimes provides code samples.

HTMLCaptcha is an assembly that allows ASP.NET developers verify the humanity of the users of their site, using a simple (and effective) method known as CAPTCHA. Unlike the usual CAPTCHA, HTMLCaptcha outputs images rendered as pure HTML and uses pictures rather than skewed text.

LUI - Language Usage Indicators. Graphs, data, and source for looking at language popularity. Gives away the raw cumulative data, as well as the source for the engine that generates the numbers. Don't take our word for it -- you can verify the data yourself, or even improve the system.

Sylbi is a conversation system built with Perl and MySQL. Not a forum, and not a blogging platform -- instead, actually both -- Sylbi grew from the idea that a blog with comments and a forum only differ in their perspective of the conversation. It provides some unique time-saving admin features as well -- like a Bayes-based "learning system" that automatically categorizes conversations, putting them in the correct topic.

Elegent and simple to use MP3 and WAV converter for Windows. Converts multiple files simultaneously by using threads. Break through the one-file-at-a-time barrier, which is how most other converters operate. Convert Windows Media WMA, MP3, or WAV to MP3 or WAV. Shareware. Download

madxlib madxlib is a C/C++ source code to create a Windows DLL that performs buffer-based MP3 decoding. It allows you to build interfaces that can process a given MP3 file in chunks, at intervals you specify, and returns the decoded 16-bit PCM samples in a buffer. A Windows programming interface to the powerful Open Source libmad library.

Plake is a tool that allows you to maintain sections within a single file (usually, variations of the same code/markup/content) and then assemble variations of that file according to which target you call. It was inspired by Make, can be used in conjunction with Make, and written in Perl, hence the name "Plake".

zangweb

zangweb was designed to get a Windows web developer up and programming quickly on this powerful Open Source platform. It includes examples for cgi-bin, mod_perl + MySQL, and static HTML. zangweb is a Windows binary installation of

The Apache web server
MySQL database server
the Perl language (plus plenty of Perl modules)
mod_perl, "a persistent Perl interpreter" for Apache.

stringilizer

A Perl::Tk window application that lets you paste in text, and then adjust perl code on the fly to manipulate the text. You can also tag snippets of code and save them for re-use later.
