I also use Linux at work on my 81 inches of screen space.
To get an idea about some projects I've been working on, have a look at my announcements.
Here is the mandatory screen shot. As you can see, I use E17 as window manager. It's small, fast, and oh so eye-candy.
Linux-related stuff
Well, there's not much here, since most things I do are just quick dirty hacks for personal use. However, there are a few things you might find interesting:
- If you have an old teletype machine, you can have a look at my tux2tty page.
- Automatic HDR panorama generation.
- Dealing with the userParameters binary blob attribute in Active Directory
- To connect a DL1414 LED display to your printer port, go here.
- if you use Evolution, you might have noticed that you can enter birthday data in Contacts, but no Calendar entries are generated for them. This is a pity. I wrote a small PERL program that reads the contact database and generates a VCF file that you can import into Evolution.
- I once encountered the problem that I had quite some emails received and written in Outlook (urrghhh, all right) which I wanted to transfer to my regular Unix mail account where I keep all my mail. Of course, Outlook doesn't have a function to save its mails to any useful format, just some weird ascii export with very strange syntax. Therefore I wrote a small PERL script that translates this text file to standard Unix mail format (the one in /var/spool/mail/username).
So here's my Outlook-to-Unix mail converter program.
I wrote it for the German version of Outlook, so if you want to use it for another language, you have to translate the keywords (Von: means From: etc.) and the week days.
