Open Source Software

2010-03-27T00:07:00.001-07:00

Hello,

I've just added an Open Source Software folder to my Sky drive on Live Spaces, and there are some very good programs I've written in that folder ready to be downloaded.

If you need to monitor wb sites to make sure they are up, or monitor web pages to see if they change, you will find scripts there to use for those purposes.

There is also a script that allows you to choose a large set of files to do a search, and replace of large blocks of text on, and a script set that will greatly enhance your ability to look up anything about your software packages on any Linux system that uses dpkg.

Bug squashing new release of the Linux dpkg Software Report

2010-01-30T06:04:00.001-08:00

Once again I have been polishing the code to the dpkg Software Report script set, and have finally gotten the list formatting routines working correctly. There are a few lists that still do not format correctly, but they are due to the package maintainer entering the textual representation of those list structures in their Description sections in an incorrect format that can not be accommodated by the software report script set.

I have written to the software package's maintainers for those packages whose lists do not format correctly, and advised them of their error. Hopefully they will heed my advisory, and correct their Description section entries to correct the problem.

I made a couple of other bug fixes while I have been working on the scripts, and if you have downloaded the Linux dpkg Software Report before 1-30-2009 you should re-download the latest .gz file from Ray's Liinks, and install this newest version on your system to get the best experience out of your use of the Linux dpkg Software Report.

Bug fixes, and new features for the Linux dpkg Software Report

2010-01-22T20:48:00.001-08:00

Hello,

Today I added a new feature to the Linux dpkg Software Report. Now the installed date and time for all packages is included in the program's output.

Also, there was a bug which caused the label name of the Description section to be written incorrectly if there were square brackets in the rest of the line containing the Description section lable name. This bug no longer exists.

Another bug I squashed today was one which cause the alphabetical package listing links to get written incorrectly if the software section name contained any slash characters.

Version 1.17 of the Linux dpkg Software Report is now available for download on Ray's Links

Web Site Monitor version 1.15

2010-01-21T04:46:00.001-08:00

Hello,

I have re-written my Web Site Monitor script set to make it follow Linux standards more closely.

The script set now includes an install script which places the two script files in the /usr/local/bin folder where they should be, and puts the working folder at /home/$USERNAME/.WebSiteMonitor/ with the configuration file now residing in the /home/$USERNAME/.config/WebSiteMonitor/WebSiteMonitor.conf file.

As a result you no longer have to specify the absolute path name to the WebSiteMonitor.sh file when you call it from the command line, as it now resides on the system PATH where it can be found simply by typing in it's name on the command line.

Also in this new version is the added capability of checking to see if your internet connection is down when Web Site Monitor discovers it cannot download the file you are monitoring on your own web site.

This prevents false web site down notices that are caused by your internet connection actually being down instead of your web site.

I have also added a configuration file so that you may specify which folder you would like your Web Site Monitor log files kept in. The default is the /home/$USERNAME/.WebSiteMonitor/logs/ folder, but you may specify any other folder in your home folder structure now as well by editing the configuration file.

Get the new script set here - Web Site Monitor at Ray's Links.

Linux dpkg Software Report

2009-12-30T20:10:00.001-08:00

Have you ever wanted all of the information about the software packages installed on your Linux system in one easy to access, easy to read place?

This bash shell script is for you then, as it compiles information from the output of the dpkg command with your installed files lists, and configuration files lists, as well as linking to any index.html files in the usr/share/doc/packagename folders for each package, into an HTML index of everything installed on your system.

All web URLs, and email addresses within the dpkg command's output get converted to links you can click to go to the package's web sites, mailing lists, or to email it's Maintainer, or Original Maintainer with suggestions, offers of help, or bug reports..

The installed files lists, and configuration file lists are linked in the report so you can easily load them, or any documentation files for each package.

There is an alphabetical by software section name index, an alphabetical by package name index, an index to all of the lib files sorted by libA.html, libB.html, up to libZ.html. There is also an alphabetical listing page for packages that exist on your system but are not currently installed.

Learning your way around a Linux system just got a whole lot easier since you can browse the package indexes, and familiarize yourself with the software, where it's installed, and the included documentation on your system.

Download the Linux dpkg Software Report script set today, and really get a handle on what's installed on your system, and how to use it. I have released it with an open source license so you can redistribute it, modify it, or whatever you feel like doing with it.

There is a sample dpkg Software Report output set linked on the above web page so you can have a look at the report before you even download the script set.

Multi Document Block Oriented Search and Replace script

2009-11-30T23:15:00.001-08:00

Web Masters, and Programmers are you in need of a way to make large changes to all of your pages or a selection of files all at once? This GUI enabled script does search and replace of large block elements across as many files as you select for it to work on.

I had been in need of a tool to do large block element search and replace for quite some time to help me administer my web sites. Sometimes there are changes I want to make to all of the pages on my site at once, and I could not find an editor that would accomplish the feat of large block search and replace.

To help myself I wrote the Multi Document Block Oriented Search and Replace script which fulfills my needs quite nicely. It is now available as open source software on Ray's Links.

As always, I ask that if you use my scripts, to please make a donation of any small amount you can afford to help me keep writing good software for people to use.

GUI Web Change Monitor script

2009-11-20T17:16:00.001-08:00

Hello,

I have just put the finishing touches on my new GUI enabled Web Change Monitor script. This script makes it very easy to monitor one, or a group of web URLs for any change, and when one of the monitored web pages changes, this script set will load it into your default web browser for viewing.

You can't really monitor your Face Book page with it because the Face Book pages change so often that change would be detected on every check of the page.Try it on your favorite stock quote page to keep up with your investments. 8-)

I have finished the Add URL to Google Site Map script, and it is available for download. This new script makes it very easy to update your site map files for multiple web sites.

It is mainly designed to work with Google Site Maps, but will probably work just as well on any .xml based site map that follows the standard rules of site maps.

Charter Cable refuses to pay refunds in a timely manner. I have been waiting for mine for over two months now, and they still will not pay me at the local office, and are stonewalling me about needing to get a check cut at corporate headquarters. The... original check was cut on July 20th, and I still do not have it. Charter sucks!!!

One of their billing representives told me on the phone that I could get a refund at the local office, and he lied to me. I turned all of their equipment in over two months ago, and still have not recieved a refund check.

What are they doing with my money all of this time??? They are earning interest on it, and do not give it back until the very last moment they can stall until.

I will also be covering the effectiveness of, and side affects, of drugs that were used to treat my Schizophrenia.

The stories I will be adding there, are primarily intended to enlighten anyone who has any interest in learning about the psyche of the Schizophrenic mind, as told by someone who has been afflicted with it themselves.

Hacker group sets Time's poll vote count to their requirements.

2009-04-28T12:06:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone!

The article I am going to link you to here includes an interview between the journalist of the article, and the hacker that managed to precision hack the results of the Time Magazine's online poll of who the most influential person is. They chatted on an irc channel to complete the interview.

The fun thing about this article is that I understand the hack, I should, they fully explain it in detail in this article, and I actually have the tools right here on my computer to easily duplicate the hack.8-)

One of the posted replies to the article from the crowd, spills the beans on the precise information needed to bypass Time's lame attempt to validate the voters, making it possible to write my own vote hacking scripts in simple Linux bash scripts, utilizing the wget command to send the vote requests.

Inside the precision hack.

I'm beginning to think that most of the hackers are using an operating system like Linux or BSD, due to the many hacking tools I have discovered are part of the Linux software repositories, available as free, open source programs anyone can use, and examine the source code of, to add their own improvements.

Due to this availability, I now have software that allows me to scan remote computers for security problems that can be taken advantage of. I am thinking of starting a "White Hat" hacker service of scanning remote computers for a small fee, and providing a Security Report to the computer's owner.

I will need a bit of practice with the scanning program, as well as needing to continue to educate myself on what vulnerabilities exist to realize this service. Keep watching to see when I start this service.

Very nice depiction of table of elements.

2009-04-12T21:21:00.001-07:00

Hello,

The link I'm sending here is to a page which shows the periodic table of elements as an arrangement of samples of the elements themselves in the same arrangement as the normal periodic table of elements is listed.

It makes for a very striking picture, and the page further links to many more pages which explain each element in detail. You can even learn interesting details like how to extract hydrogen from water, with a simple nine volt battery and two paper clips, or more productively, with two carbon rods, an array of batteries or other DC source, and bottles to catch the bubbles of hydrogen and oxygen as they boil off of the carbon rods, as explained on this page as well.

Homemade hydrogen

<http://www.theodoregray.com/PeriodicTable/Elements/001/index.html>

Note that there are links on the right side in the picture immediately above the periodic table of elements, which lead to numbered sizes of pages from 1 to 9, with larger and larger images of the periodic table of elements on each higher numbered link, in case you can print at any of the larger sizes.

The site also sells posters of the periodic table of elements as depicted in the image on this page.

On The Inside

2007-10-14T15:44:00.001-07:00

Life can get so very hard,

on the inside of your head,

when you don't want to do right.

Life can get so very hard,

things just boil around,

filling your head with fright.

You should, you shouldn't,

you want to, you know you can't,

'till it goes on all night.

Life can get so very hard,

on the inside of your head,

when you don't want to do right.

You do it, you lie,

you're found out, you cry,

now you know you're not so sly.

No one will know,

isn't that the way it will go,

but you remember don't you.

Life can get so very hard,

on the inside of your head,

when you don't want to do right.

It's deep in the past,

somehow it just seems to

last and last and last.

You made the wrong decision,

was it really so fun,

now that your brain's on the run?

Life can get so very hard,

on the inside of your head,

when you don't want to do right.

Fission Fishin' Mission

2007-09-07T16:28:00.000-07:00

Wishin' to be fishin' life without a mission know nothing about nuclear fission gotta make a decision what's this life for?	If you're comfortable while you're here, that's all right, if you're not then you just got to fight to turn around your head and get it right.
You know I don't have any idea, Time, it doesn't even get to see ya, you're here and you're gone, you move it along and you die!	But what's right? it's so confusing why won't the spark of thought ignite and give me the meaning of life in a nutshell to my delight...
You build, you love, you cry, you really can't do more than try, hit the right vein and you fly, step in front of a train and good-bye!	Wisihin' to be fishin' life without a mission know nothing about nuclear fission gotta make a decision what's this life for?

Ideas

2007-09-05T18:30:00.000-07:00

Ladies take warning,

don't call a lonely man,

he might spoil your plans,

so don't intrude!

He understands,

but has ideas...

and might want you,

in his hands...

Ladies take my warning,

if you call a lonely man,

be ready to be included,

in his plans.

His head will freak out,

he'll want to speak out,

if he likes you,

he will take a stand...

He could be frightened,

don't let him slip through,

times sands,

if you call a lonely man.

Dreams

2007-09-04T13:04:00.000-07:00

I go to college but I've got no schemes,

white collar mind hype made me lose my dreams,

Sometimes I wonder what I really need,

isn't the money supposed to be just greed?

I've got no lover but I feel just fine,

I know one's waiting somwhere down the line,

I like my women kinda wild and free

don't want them thinking about no-one but me,

I don't need no cocaine to set me free,

music's the best high I ever did,

So take you mind hype, your books, your schemes,

and give me back my dreams.

The Pieces

2007-09-03T16:04:00.001-07:00

I want to be around to pick up the pieces,
and warm your cold, cold heart,
if you'll just say you love me dear,
for the time that we're apart.

I hope someday we see,
the way we are when we're apart,
and waken to our land of love,
it's been there from the start.

More time was needed than we had,
but I was so damn smart,
I tried to rush our love,
and ruined it... the best part.

You never really had a chance
to find out who you are,
and I had never stopped to think,
now we've got broken hearts.

I really believe I know now
what it means to fall in love,
you were the first woman
to really touch my heart.

Another day in the life of Ray

2007-09-03T15:45:00.001-07:00

Another day in the life of Ray
and what can I say..?
Another day
in the life I say...

I am what...
I think I am...
I am, I am me,
and I say...

How are you?
Are you ok?
OK is where,
where you are...

What do YOU say?
it's another day,
day is over here,
here is where I am...

Another day in the life of Ray
and what can I say..?
Another day
in the life I say,

it's another day,
day in time
time moving on
on another day...

what can I do,
today I can...
how about you?
you know?...

Another day in the life of Ray
and what can I say..?
Another day
in the life I say,

it's a day
is that the way
way it goes?
who knows...

who knows
when, why, or what
it is
about you...

how about you?
you know how...
I feel you...
feel for me..?

Another day in the life of Ray
and I see..
Another day, of life,
I see...
see you...

and I'll wait
I await another day
in my life...
the life of Ray...

I'm a Fool

2007-09-02T18:10:00.001-07:00

I'm a fool for you,
no matter what you do.

I love you and know you
know you too.

I'm a fool for you,
no matter what you do.

I love you and need you
need you too.

I'm a fool for you,
no matter what you do.

I love to know you
I'll show you too.

I love you no matter
what you do.

So if you leave me
I'll love you still.

I'm a fool for you,
no matter what you do.

Honey please believe me
it's you, it's you...

I love you no matter
what you do.

I'm a fool for you
Yeah, just a fool.

I Hear You Know

2007-09-02T14:36:00.000-07:00

I hear you Know,

yet you don't show,

you still don't know,

'cause you don't show,

you never show

'cause you never know,

what I'm thinking...

while you're slinking

around you know,

you've found me,

you never show,

you've found me,

you're around me,

you never know,

you've found me.

'cause you don't show,

what I'm thinking,

you never know,

what I'm thinking is...

you've found me.

I hear you know...

yet you don't show,

you still don't know,

'cause you don't show,

you never show,

'cause you never show,

what I'm thinking.

I hear you now...
