Dan's Tech Stuff

Software I've Written

I like to code. My favorite languages are Python and C.

Hardware hacking

Firmware Goblin
This program automatically extracts the firmware for an EZ-USB based device.
imount
This program quickly mounts disk and CD images. Very handy when doing embedded development or using emulators or virtualization.
NEW!! Python SCSI generic library
This is a small Python extension to send arbitrary commands to SCSI devices under Linux.

Networking

UMD Wireless Network Automatic Login
This is a little program to keep you logged in to the University of Maryland wireless network, so you don't have to keep putting your password into the stupid web interface.
CellPhoneProxy
Get free internet access on your Motorola E815 phone with Verizon. This proxy server works around some of the bugs in this phone's browser.

Measurement

VIX: VISA Instrument Xplorer
This is a GUI for laboratory instrument automation, similar to the "GPIB Explorer" program provided by National Instruments.
Linux GPIB (contributor)
I've contributed to the Python bindings for the Linux GPIB package, which allows you to control laboratory instruments using the GPIB bus under Linux.

Math

Python IEEE 754 binary library
This is a Python module to manipulate the binary representation of floating-point values in the standard IEEE 754 64-bit format (= C double type or Python float type).
