Project news galore!

Alias
I have been using linux in the labs rather a bit lately at uni, doing most of the work in the terminal. So after a while I got annoyed when I went to windows and ran ls instead of dir.

If only there was a way for me to have an alias-like command for windows like there is in linux and mac, thought I. And after a breif google I found a few ways to do it. But why not fiddle with a batch file to make my own!

So here it is: http://software.palmnet.me.uk/module/alias

JiTR
JiTR has been seen before by a few Palmnet readers. Only before it was QTR and never really worked properly!

The update came when a guy on my corridor left his USB stick with me when he went out, foolish mistake to make.

I got the old QTR source and changed it so instead of simply replacing set words with set word replacements, now it would randomly replace any word typed with a word chosen at random from a random word list. It ended up that 10% of the words he would type would be altered to things like "moo" or "underpants", and much hilarity would ensue as he tried to explain his computer problems with his friends/family on MSN.

Unfortunately the plan backfired as UAC on vista flagged it up as I installed it on his PC so it would start running every time the PC started. But I updated the code after that late night prank just for you lot.

Now it can do random replacements as well as set replacements, and unlike QTR, this thing works rather well! Though it is still kept hidden so it can be used for pranks too.

Feel free to give it a whirl: http://software.palmnet.me.uk/module/JiTR

Spunge
Yup, Spunge is still being worked on. Shockingly.

Not much left to do now really, just a few tweaks left to do and I still have to start the file manager bit, but the rest is done and working. Will post more about that soon hopefully. In the mean time, have a snippet of code:

<?php
	$page_id = 'Index';
	include "methods/page_render.php";
?>
