Software

Here are some software packages and utility scripts I wrote that might be useful to the general public.

coonf

This package can help in organization of a conference. It can handle on-line applications, submission of abstracts, upload of electronic presenation, creating conference WWW pages etc. Also, using only subset of coonf's features one can set up WWW interface for easy insertion of any data into relational database and subsequent WWW access to this data.

Written in Python. Current version is coonf 0.9.11 (beta) [2012-02-27]. [download] [HTML documentation] [PDF documentation]
[example WWW site 1] [example WWW site 2]

gethep

Retrieves postscript or PDF version of eprints from the arXiv.org archive.

Written in python. Current version is gethep 2.1 [2012-03-05]. [download]

 
Usage: gethep [-s|-d] arXiv/number (e.g. 0911.1374)
-s  save to file [default]

getbib

Gets BibTeX info (and keywords) for a paper specified by either arXiv.org eprint number or texkey. Uses INSPIRE HEP database. This is useful for creating and updating your list of references. Even if you don't use BibTeX this script can help you in checking whether and where some eprint has been published.

hep_filter

hep_filter is python script that intercepts daily abstract announcements by arXiv.org, calculates a score of each abstract according to keywords from your scores file and than reorders abstracts so that the ones most interesting to you come out on top. Resulting email is then forwarded to you.

Current version is hep_filter 0.6 [2007-08-24]. [download] [documentation]

baak

Backup script. Uses dump(8) and splits level 0 backup into multiple volumes that can be burned to CDs/DVDs. It can automatically mount remote NFS filesystems. Developed on FreeBSD but should work on other *nixes as well.

Written in Bourne shell. Current version is baak 1.0 [2003-01-30]. [download] [documentation]
