Jim's stuff (JStrack, lightning/wx photos, brewing, etc.)

My Other Sites

I, JStrack's author, need your help!

Please refer to My Etsy Product Listings. My first cancer forcibly retired me, and dumped me into Social So-Called Security. In other words, it left me with a tiny budget that has me running out of money at the middle of every month, and I need lots of orders on that handmade jewelry shop on Etsy to help that budget.
Donations would, of course, be very welcome, too. If you have PayPal, you can just send whatever amount you want to spooky130u@gmail.com. It doesn't have to be huge, after all, ten bucks is ten bucks.

PEP is a small, extremely useful program I found a long time ago on one of the Usenet newsgroups, probably comp.sources.unix or comp.sources.misc. Got a file with a lot of non-printable garbage? Or maybe you want to convert between spaces/tabs? Pep is great at that. I haven't found it lately, so here it is: pep28.tar.gz or pep28.zip.
My Tcl/Tk stuff

(JStrack, of course)
GTbrew2 - a brewer's recipe formulator. More info in the brewing section's index.
Sudoku.tcl - This is a combination of my Tcl/Tk sudoku assist program, Michael Kennett's sudoku program (C src), and sudoku_solver (also C) by Bill Dupree. :-) Compiled executables are included for Windows users. Source code for the two C programs is also included.

New feature as of 07 June 2009: can now specify a list of acceptable levels (easy, medium, etc.) on the command line and/or in config.tcl (command line wins if they disagree). Valid levels are "easy", "medium", "hard", and "fiendish".
GT-Sudoku-06Feb2011.zip - This is the full release (06Feb2011 update) of the above Sudoku.tcl (plus). It includes sudoku.tcl for Unix and Mac OS/X users, and sudoku.exe for Windows users (who, if they have Tcl/Tk installed, can, of course, also just use sudoku.tcl).
Unzip the file, edit config.tcl (any plain text editor will do) and run either sudoku.exe or sudoku.tcl (using wish8.4 or, on Windows with the ActiveTcl release, wish84---I have no idea if this code will work with Tcl/Tk 8.5 ... it *SHOULD*, but since I haven't tested it, no promises).
A couple of simple clocks:

clock.tcl (also requires tkcon.tcl) and tkcon_wrap.tcl) - a (very) simple digital clock. It has existed in various configurations, from this simple design, to one that plays chimes, etc...
24hourclock.tcl - a 24-hour clock

More coming later...

cbb - CheckBook Balancer (GREAT checkbook balancer by Curtis L. Olson that seems to have vanished from the 'net...so I'm putting a copy here):

cbb-0.8.1.tar.gz - cbb 0.8.1, the last official version, as far as I know;
cbb-0.8.2.tgz - cbb 0.8.2, an unofficial patch from http://www.labma.ufrj.br/~mcabral/livros/cbb.html
