20/10/04 - A few more scripts uploaded to
/bin this evening. dec2hex/hex2dec
is a quick and dirty decimal/hex converter. showcol is a
filter that lets you pull specified columns from a pipe. (Like cut,
but less fussy). 1grep will grep for the first occurence of
a searchterm and then exit. I've also updated hgrep as the
earlier implementation didn't allow for use as a filter.

14/10/04 - A major project added this morning -
ZBKB - A knowledge base application written using PHP,
running on an Apache webserver using PostgreSQL as its backend.
Source code, information and documentation can be found on the
ZBKB Project Page.
-
12/10/04 - Another script added, termtest, which
demonstrates various terminal control capabilites to allow you
to move around a grid using vi-like keys - written as a ksh
script. If this interests you, it's in the
Script Repository.
-
11/10/04 - All of the studying and lack of site updates has
been worth it as I've passed my LPI examinations and am now a
Certified Linux Systems Administrator. Not bad, eh?!
Anyway, now that's out of the way, I can get back to work on the
site. For starters, I've uploaded a set of four cpio scripts
(cpcpio, lscpio, mkcpio, uncpio) to the
Script Repository, as well as a search
script, dirfind which searches a specified list of
directories without recursion using a regular expression.
11/10/04 - Second Update - Yes, two updates
in one day. I have implemented a simple drawing applet in Java to
demonstrate the concept of persistence - something most drawing
applets don't have. Head over to the ZDraw page
for an explanation, source code, and a demonstration!
