Bio:
Another one from Perth, Western Australia.
I was originally using Tcl in systems administration (via Expect) from 2000 or so, but, in 2005 I became interested in Tcl/Tk for its multiplatform GUI and starpack deployment. That I could easily code my GUI apps in vi, nano or Textpad and deploy them as single file native executables impressed me greatly.
Aside from systems admin, I use Tcl/Tk for various Shareware projects with a focus on multi-platform release supporting Windows (including Wine and ReactOS), Linux/X11 and Mac OS X.
Tcl Extensions:
- TclMacBag - Mac OS X style widgets on Mac, appropriate Tile fallbacks when called on other platforms.
- TclTalkback - A bit like Microsoft Online Crash Analysis for Tcl.
- TclMiniSplash - Small, simple splash screen for Tcl/Tk apps.
Tcl Extensions in development:
- ScoreProgress [L1 ] - a progress bar which can display success and failure.
Tclish bits and pieces:
- Tcl MP3 Alarm Clock - Find radio shock jocks offensive? Find buzzer and bell ringing sounds an awful way to start the day? Wake up to your MP3s.
- USB FAT Semi-Auto-Mount - Semi-automatically mounts your USB drives to your chosen root directory by their disk label.
Some other wiki pages I've had a hand in:
Freeware apps:
- HoursCalc [L2 ] - Simple and small timesheet hours calculator
- RanPassUI [L3 ] - Simple GUI random password generator.
- 2Dirs1Cup [L4 ] - Compares two directory hierarchies for which files each has that the other doesn't.
Commercial apps:
- Padded [L5 ] - Portable Application Description editor and uploader. (Useful for Shareware authors who want to see their software listed on the many and various software distribution sites.)
- RReplace [L6 ] - Recursive search and replace in file contents and file names.
Commercial apps in development:
- PEPYS [L7 ] - A home library catalog tool that wants to grow up to be a library OPAC system.
Contact:
Best to use my contact form here [L8 ]. Alternately, I'm sometimes in the Tcl Chatroom.
