Software

Summary: Most of the software that I develop is for clients so I cannot publish the code online, but here are a few utilities that may be useful to you.

Monitor Website Traffic in Real Time: Script parses Web access log and sends pertinent output to a terminal or Web browser.

Redirect mailto: for Spam Prevention: Prevent e-mail siphons from harvesting your e-mail addresses by separating the address from the Web page while still providing a way for users to click a link and have it open their local mailer.
AOLserver needs this patch to nsd/return.c; otherwise, it includes the mailto: link in the server response. Path created for AOLserver/3.3.1+ad13.

Graphic @ for Spam Prevention: Prevent e-mail siphons from harvesting your e-mail address by not using the commercial "@" character when displaying your e-mail address on a Web page; use a graphical "@" instead.

Simulating Oracle Sequences in Microsoft SQL Server & ColdFusion

ArsDigita Community System (ACS & OpenACS) Stuff

Subnet Scan (Perl): Returns domain name and IP address for all hosts on a domain's class C subnet.

Monitor Click-Through Traffic Without Using SQL (Perl): Keep track of the links that are taking users out of your site (let's you know about their interests). Saves data in a DBM. Use redir_out.pl to output resulting DB to a terminal. Requires CGI.pm (Perl module) -- download it from CPAN.
