goodies

• pam_run a small module for PAM, that allows to execute arbitrary programs from within the PAM process. I found that somewhere on the net and slightly modified it.
• links-2.1pre17-cookies-save.patch This makes the Links browser save the cookies on quit. This patch was made by Pasky, but his version only worked with ancient versions of links -- this is just modified to patch cleanly to modern versions of links.
• links-2.1pre17-no-proxy.patch With this patch, you can prevent the Links browser from using a proxyserver for addresses matching a certain string(s).
• links-2.1pre17-czf.patch This makes the Links browser recognise ".czf" as a correct TLD (.czf is used in the CZFree.Net community network)
• twici_escape.diff Allows metacharacters in TwicI to be escaped with a backslash
• patchingsiemensc55.html A nice guide to patching Siemens C55 mobile phone, and to converting an original Siemens data cable to a patching cable. Just a mirror, in case the original disappeared for any reason. Check the original webpage for updates.
• ucw My favourite Czech keyboard mapping for X use (this shell-script version to load the keymap if you are not root or don't want to install it to the proper system xkb directory). Written probably by 0rfelius, but I had to modify it a little This one simply works for me, there may be other variants around :-)
• rb500-czf A Debian Sarge image for Routerboard 500, set up as a CZFree.Net router
• daemonize.c A very simple wrapper that can run any program in background as a daemon, detach from the terminal, redirect the output to a log file and change the UID. It's not perfect, but works for me. NB: there is another program called daemonize that does the same thing and is probably more mature. Google for it.
• icq_responder.pl A simple ICQ robot that logs into your ICQ account and replies to whatever it receives with the same message. I use it to inform people that I switched to Jabber and am not using ICQ anymore. Needs Net::OSCAR (available through CPAN) and works best with the above daemonize.c wrapper.
• typekeys.c A simple program that reads standard input and translates it to keypresses pushed into the kernel through uinput. Can be used e.g. to easily feed output of serial barcode/rfid readers or remote controls into applications as keystrokes. A sample ascii keymap is here.
• pam_abl.patch A patch that makes pam_abl work for me on Debian Etch and does a couple more tweaks to better suit my needs.
• csv2abo a perl script to generate mass-payment bank orders in the "ABO" format used by most Czech banks.
• kdmflexiserver a simple shell script to allow non-KDE users to get the "Switch User" functionality of KDE/KDM
• ps2pdf_papersize a simple shell wrapper of ps2pdf which allows to set the output page size to any standard (a0, a1, a2, a3, a4, ...) size, a landscape variant thereof or an arbitrary paper size specified in millimetres
• floating_cards.tar.bz2 My theme for the HtmlExport KIPI plugin.
