I spend quite a bit of my time designing and writing software, and here is where you can find it. I do most of my work on the Macintosh or with Java, but also a fair amount on Unix (primarily Solaris).
DF2Resource is a programming utility I've written. It will take the data fork of any file and convert it into a resource. Works via drag and drop, and you can specify where the files should be saved or it will create a new resource file for each original file. I wrote DF2Resource so I could easily convert graphics and text files into resources so I don't have to distribute them as separate files -- they can be resources in the application that needs them.The current version is 1.0.

This is an AppleScript extension that allows you to toggle video mirroring on and off. It has only been tested on a PowerBook 520c, but should work on any Macintosh that supports video mirroring. This was written when a friend's powerbook monitor went dead. I was able to plug up a second monitor and use it to install this plugin via an AppleScript so another script would turn mirroring on. It was tricky to do (considering I couldn't see the menu bar or hard drive icon), but it allowed my friend to use the machine with a broken internal monitor for a few days. [Download]
This is an AppleScript extension that allows you to send email in a syntax very similar to sendmail on Unix. It isn't fully tested (I just needed it for one script), but it should work fine. Updated 2/8/00 to specify date header only when not already there and to display dates as 4 digits instead of 2. [Download]
