PhotoAlbum is a Perl program that creates a nice web friendly photo album of your pictures. It creates top level index files and individual image pages with optional captions, image statistics and file names using plain html for easy uploading to any web host. Navigation buttons make moving between pictures easy. The Album generated it suitable for posting to a webpage, or burning to cdrom. One of the things I like to do is to take tons of pictures at family events and then burn cds for everyone.

This is a simple PalmOS application that contains all of the information that I could find on the serial number ranges for various AR-15 manufacturers indicating whether or not the rifle is a 'pre-ban' rifle or not. Select the manufacturer from the popup menu and all of the information that I have found for that manufacturer will be displayed in the main screen, if it is too large to fit on one screen the scroll bar will be enabled, use it or the up/down buttons to scroll the information.

TrollBridge is a set of Python scripts and iptable configuration that allows you to capture unknown network clients and authenticate them before allowing them to access the network (local, internet, 802.11 WiFi, etc.). It is based on the firewall script from NoCatSplash, but is written in Python instead of 'c'. It can be used to to setup a network hot-spot for your business, school or home. The only authorization methods currently available are a skeleton username/password example, and an example using iButton devices.

up2dateiso is a Python script that will create current CD .iso images for RedHat 9, Fedora Core 1 and CentOS 3.1 with the latest rpm updates available.

UPDATE 07/15/2003: I've put the Snapple Real Fact Page back up, even though I am no longer running a wiki. I'll start adding to my drinking list as well. Where did the list of Snapple Real Facts go, you are asking? Well here's the answer: On the previous Wiki I had a list of the caps from the Snapple bottles that I had been drinking, in the order I saw them.

For me the day began with at 5am, scrambling to make sure I remembered to bring everything -- laptop, Zaurus, cat-5 cable, cellphone, digital camera, USB to serial adapter, camera cable for downloading pictures (I ought to be able to do that with the Zaurus, shouldn't I?), etc. I wasn't sure exactly how long it would take me to make it to Bellingham from Seabeck, but I was pretty sure I needed to catch the 7:10 Kingston to Edmonds ferry.

UPDATE 11/17/2001 I'm a bit tardy in this update, the new Olympic Arms building is done and open for business. I haven't had the chance to make it down myself. I am lucky enough to live about an hour away from Olympic Arms in Olympia, Washington. They are manufacturers of a variety of weapons and kits, most famously for their highly accurate AR-15 rifles. On June 7, 2000 a bearing in an exhaust fan seized and the resulting fire destroyed their sales and shipping building.

Contents Parts Build Problems Range Report This HOWTO was written in 2000. Since then the prices on bare lowers has gone up a little and the 'assault weapons' ban has expired. I'd like to dedicate this page to the memory of my friend Mike Jackson who died in March 2003. His enthusiasm for the AR-15 is what convinced me to build my own and write this article. After 3 months of waiting I finally received my M&A Parts C.

XfreeCD was one of my first Linux projects, it is a audio CD player application that takes its visual design from Nate Smith's freeCD. Development of XfreeCD stalled when I switched to using xmms to play all my music after ripping all of it it to ogg format using Grip. Current development has been moved to a Source Forge project. Check there for the latest versions. XFreeCD features a simple, borderless playback interface, CDDB song database support, GTK+.
