Most of the things I write are simple perl/shell scripts or programs that only
serve the purpose of learning something new. This page is a listing of those I
thought might be of interest to others as well.

=head2 bbcode.c

January 2006. Simple BBCode to HTML converter written in plain C, for learning
puroses.  L<source|http://dev.yorhel.nl/download/code/bbcode.c>

=head2 echoserv.c

February 2006. A simple non-blocking single-threaded TCP echo server,
displaying how the select() system call can be used to handle multiple
connections.  L<source|http://dev.yorhel.nl/download/code/echoserv.c>

=head2 yapong.c

Feburary 2006. Yet Another Pong, and yet another program written just for
testing/ learning purposes. Tested to work with the ncurses or pdcurses
libraries.  L<source|http://dev.yorhel.nl/download/code/yapong.c> (L<older
version|http://dev.yorhel.nl/download/code/yapong-0.01.c>).

=head2 Microdc2 log file parser

June 2007. Simple perl script that parses log files created by
L<microdc2|http://corsair626.no-ip.org/microdc/> and outputs a simple and
ugly html file with all uploaded files. It correctly merges chunked
uploads, calculates average upload speed per file and total bandwidth used
for uploads.  L<source|http://dev.yorhel.nl/download/code/mdc2-parse.pl>

B<Note:> for those of you who still use microdc2, please have a look at
L<ncdc|http://dev.yorhel.nl/ncdc>, a modern alternative.

=head2 vinfo.c

November 2009. The L<public VNDB API|http://vndb.org/d11> was designed to be
easy to use even from low level languages. I wrote this simple program to see
how much work it would be to use the API in C, and as example code for anyone
wishing to use the API for something more useful. Read the comments for more
info.  L<source|http://dev.yorhel.nl/download/code/vinfo.c>

=head2 json.mll

December 2010. I was writing a client for the L<public VNDB
API|http://vndb.org/d11> in OCaml and needed a JSON parser/generator. Since I
wasn't happy with the currently available solutions - they try to do too many
things and have too many dependencies - I decided to write a minimal JSON
library myself.  L<source|http://g.blicky.net/serika.git/tree/json.mll>

=head2 ncdc-transfer-stats

September 2011. L<ncdc|http://dev.yorhel.nl/ncdc> gained transfer logging
features, and I wrote a quick Perl script to fetch some simple statistics from
it.  L<source|http://p.blicky.net/agolr>

=head2 ncdc-share-report

December 2011. Playing around with the Go programming language, I wrote another
transfer log parser and statistics generator for ncdc.
