- MDIR: Music-Finding Perl Script
- This program will search through all your MP3 (or WAV or any other music) files and help you pick ones to listen to. You can search by keyword, even using Perl regular expressions if you want, or just let the program pick a certain number of songs at random. Once the songs are selected, MDIR will load the songs into the Winamp playlist for you.
Note: you'll need to have Perl installed on your Windows-based PC to use this script (go to the ActiveState web site to download ActivePerl). Once Perl is working, unzip the files and follow the instructions in the readme file to set up MDIR and its companion indexing script "mdir-index.pl". Since MDIR is written as a batch file, all you will have to do to run it is type "MDIR" at a command prompt. You will also need Winamp 2.x installed on your system.
- CGI Scripts written for this web site
- I have written several CGI programs in Perl that I used to use to make various "random" features of this web site work. I don't use these anymore because they are pretty resource-intense and tend to slow the site down. Maybe they will be interesting to someone, though, so I'll leave them up here.
- Random Image
- This script puts the random image in the upper right hand corner of the screen.
- Random Text
- This script outputs all the various random text elements in the right margin.
- XML Random Text
- This is a version of the random text script that I wrote to use an XML input file. I wrote it mostly just to test out the Perl module XML::Parser. I eventually decided that while kind of cool, it was really overkill and decided to just go with the simpler random text script instead.
- Classroom-scheduling program
- This is a FORTRAN program that I wrote, as part of a team of three, for my senior project at the University of Minnesota. It should be considered a "proof of concept" only. It worked, but was never actually used for real classroom scheduling.
