This is a collection of (mostly) finished programs that I've written. Programs that are currently under development will likely be cross-referenced in the What's Cooking area. For the most part, these programs are written in Java, because I find it a largely pleasant experience, as opposed to C, which tends to raise my hackles. (But I'll concede that C is appropriate for certain cases.) Furthermore, it is quite nice to have programs that run on UCSD's motley collection of Solaris, Linux, Windows and Macintoshes with relatively little fuss.

| Periodic Table | A program that lists all 118 elements of the periodic table. It will show information about each element, plot graphs of various atomic data, and even simulate electron shells with a 3D interface. |
| Hierarchal Object Storage Environment | Thoughts and a short paper about my vision of a hierarchal metadata-rich object storage environment. |
| Random Sentence Generator | Random sentence generator. |
| Disk Benchmarking Tool | Measures disk throughput in various areas across a disk. |
| Advertisement Defeater | Defeats those annoying banner advertisements that you find in web pages. |
| Babelizer | Babelizer reads lines from text files and spits them out in random order. Very amusing. |
| BackTalk Script Parser | A script parser that works over the internet. It can download files and URLs, and print files and URLs. |
| BogoMIPS Calculator | This program calculates the BogoMIPS rating of a CPU, based on the algorithms in the Linux kernel. |
| Datagram Echo | Echoes datagram (UDP) packets over the internet. |
| Gaussian Matrix Solver | This program solves matrices for solutions using the Gaussian reduction algorithm. |
| Internet Utilities | These internet utilities performs DNS lookups, scans IP addresses for HTTP servers, and serves as a web terminal so that you can read responses from HTTP requests. |
| Java Class Browser | Disassembles Java class files, so that you can examine the underlying contents of the class, including method bytecode, constant pool information, and other attributes. |
| Java Runtime Information | Queries Java runtimes for configuration data and platform data. |
| Java YZ-Windows | A lightweight graphics/windowing library, written in Java, intended to be an "object-orientated" implementation of Woodley's YZ-Windows. |
| Internet Printer | Prints files over the Internet. Particularly useful if you want to print raw PostScript / PCL / text data to a networkable JetDirect printer such as a HP LaserJet 4000. |
| Web Server | A simple HTTP file server with directory browsing and rudimentary CGI support. It has partial support for HTTP/1.1. |
