This photo is from my senior year in high school.  That was a while ago.  Maybe I'll scan in something newer someday.

**Projects Using Tcl**

   [itunesdb]:   [Snit]-based iTunes database reader.  Useful with iPods.
   [tclpod]:   iPod music browser.  Lists and copies music files from any iPod.  (Might never materialize...)
   [OpenVerse Visual Chat]:   Internet chat program.  My favorite project.
   [Manos]:   Tcl operating system.  What fun!
   [joust]:   Networked chess-type game.  School assignment.
   [tcptty]:   Access your serial ports over TCP.  Hooray.
   [multissh]:   Execute commands on multiple hosts at the same time.  Supports '''stdin''', '''stdout''', and '''stderr'''!
   [Lab 3D]:   [[[Canvas]]]-based 3D viewer.  Another school assignment.
   chime:   System for driving church bells.
   [timeentry]:   See [[timebox]] at the bottom of the page.
   [sproc]:   A static-enabled [proc] which doubles as a miniature object system.
   [Wibble]:   Yet another small, [pure-Tcl] web server.

If you're interested in a project listed above for which there is no page, ask me about it in email.  Oh wait.  Heh, guess you'll just have to post a request on this page.  Go ahead; I won't mind.

**Other Junk I Wrote**

   [interleave]:   Joins parallel lists into a format suitable for [[array set]].
   [lcomp]:   Utility for obfuscating otherwise-comprehensible list operations.
   [Sorted Lists]:   A sordid story of sorting sorcery.
   [unsort]:   Reads stdin, shuffles the line order, and spews the result to stdout.
   [Shuffling a list]:   I seem to have a fixation on sorting and unsorting...
   [Round Polygons]:   So soft, so smooth!
   [The simplest possible socket demonstration]:   It's even easier than it looks.
   [execline]:   A language with no resident interpreter!
   [AMG's language ideas]:   Just a few things been runnin' through my head...
   [Directory recursion]:   Quite easy in Tcl 8.5.
   [null]:   I apologize for giving you all such a hard time.
   [grok]:   A configuration file reader ''with infrastructure!''
   [csv]:   Yet another CSV reader.
   [Chain simulation]:   A fun toy.
   [Mahoney Map]:   An alternative to Karnaugh Maps.

I need to update this list someday...

**Comments**

thx for formatting my stuff!

[JM] Andy, thanks for your contributions to this wiki...and for cleaning up my page (^:

[JM] I am trying to run your cgi script "site.tcl", which other files do I need to setup, and, how should I call this script? (query parameters I mean), thanks for your help.

[AMG]: This one [http://andy.junkdrome.org/cgi-bin/site.tcl]?  That was designed to work within Apache with these settings, which I put in .htaccess:

======none
# Enable URL rewriting.
RewriteEngine on

# Update some obsolete URLs.
RedirectMatch permanent ^/*~andy(/.*|$) http://andy.junkdrome.org$1
RedirectMatch permanent ^/*gimp/jpg(/.*|$) http://andy.junkdrome.org/gimp/jpeg$1

# Canonicalize the hostname.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !=andy.junkdrome.org
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://andy.junkdrome.org/$1 [R=permanent,L]

# Just let Apache send/process the file if it already exists.  This rule also
# prevents an infinite rewrite loop, since the rewrite maps to an existing file.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

# Generate all directory listings, phony files, etc. with a script.
RewriteRule ^ /cgi-bin/site.tcl [L]

# Hide dotfiles.
<Files ~ "^\.">
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
</Files>
======

Also, it's about four years old and should updated or replaced with Wibble.  I could probably make a version of Wibble that runs as CGI...  Anyway, you will need to read the script to see how it's hard-coded for my site and make updates as necessary.  You'll want to make ".desc" files which are simply lists of three-element lists consisting of a title, a [[[clock seconds]]] time, and templatized HTML.

If you do anything with the script, consider writing a wiki page on it.

[JM] 12-24-2012, I will, thanks again.

[JM] 12-28-2012: Andy, the only thing that it is not working in my configuration is that I am keep getting the .files being shown in the listings...(i.e. .htaccess and .desc)
Is the htaccess's "Files" block taken into account by the script to show or not to show the .files? 
(I understand this configuration affects Apache listing only)

[AMG]: [[[glob] *]] skips dotfiles, at least 8.5.2's [[glob]] does.  (8.5.2 is what's on the server.  Been there since Christmas 2008.)  For your [[glob]] to list dotfiles, you must not be running on Unix.

The script doesn't know anything about .htaccess files.

[JM] right, I am using Windows XP. I will move these comments to a dedicated wiki page as it may be useful for others.
