Software
I haven’t written too many things that might be useful or interesting, but maybe you can find something here:
Extensions for Ruby FPDF
Ruby FPDF is a Ruby port of the popular FPDF PDF generation library for PHP. I’ve added the following:
- PDF_Barby extension: An extension that lets you print barcodes generated by the very, very, very cool (if slightly weird) Barby pure Ruby Barcode generator. Barby is cool because it doesn’t require any external C libraries, and because it has a Rubyish way of being talked to. (Download from Subversion)
- PDF_Gbarcode extension: An extension that lets you print barcodes generated by the excellent (if slightly weird) Gbarcode for Ruby. (Download from Subversion)
- PDF_Rotate extension: A port of Olivier Plathey’s extension that allows you to rotate elements in your PDF. (Download from Subversion)
NRK Scraper
NRK Scraper is a tiny Ruby script that analyzes the Norwegian national broadcasting corporation’s online TV archive and allows you to dump streams or watch archived programs via mplayer. It easily beats the heavy and slow flash/WMP combo that NRK offers officially.
Download and develop at Rubyforge
leihs
As listed on my project page, I’ve also started hacking around in leihs, probably shocking our real developers.
Download and develop at the ZHdK code server.
