Over the years, I’ve written various pieces of software, scripts, etc. I’m offering several of them for download.
nagios-plugins
Collection of Nagios check plugins, as well as my Perl framework for writing my custom plugins. Plugins for APC Smart-UPS, Sensaphone IMS-4000 checks, MySQL, DNS records, etc..

dstools
(Note – I’ve stopped using these tools; they may stop working at any time)
This are wrapper scripts for OSX that re-create the classic useradd, groupadd, userdel and groupdel commands on Mac OSX. These a wrapper scripts around the native ‘dscl’ command. I use them reliably on 10.6-10.8 systems. Not fully tested on 10.9 but I think they should work fine.
JS Timer
NRAO hosts a number of science symposia / large meetings where the program consists of a large number of astronomers giving presentations. We needed an easy-to-use session countdown timer with a simple display that speakers could understand that also worked off-line so it wasn’t dependent on poor conference hotel wifi. We tried several off-the-shelf programs but none were quite what we wanted, so I wrote my own.
JS Timer is, as you may guess, written in Javascript/HTML and displays a large countdown clock along with a graphic representing the time remaining. It supports talk vs. Q&A timings and is configurable with presets for different time slots.
Source code is available on github. I’ve also used various packages to create “binary releases” as native applications.
