Miscellaneous Programs

• There is a collection of tools that I use to work locally with cvs (for example if I'm working on my laptop and are currently offline so that I cannot access the cvs repository directly). This includes several successive commits to the same file, even though the repository is on a different machine and temporarily not available.
• On a similar topic, I use the following script to keep under version control sparsely scattered files.
• To keep the mailboxes on my server/desktop/laptop in sync, I use a set of simple scripts that work on maildirs pretty much like diff/patch. As transport layer I use uucp (over ssh), but the program is completly agnostic towards transport (it just provides a hook to the shell); anything able to transport files will do (including carrying USB sticks around). The shell archive maildirdiff-0.4.shar contains a file structure ready to stow(8). (Old versions: 0.3, 0.2, 0.1)
• Occasionally I suggest to have the second hand on an analogue watch slowed down by a factor of 12 so that one can use it, to properly read of the minutes. If you want to get an impression what that would look like, here is the appropriately patched x11-clocks/tclock port (which calls itself tclock-min, so that you can install both clocks in parallel): tclock-min.shar.
