This is a short overview of some projects I was involved in. Have also a look at my blog articles tagged with  'hack' or 'snippet' for useful tricks and howtos.

Projects started:

Started a project that uses Python and QtWebKit to created screenshots from headless servers. This project is continued by Admin Nelson on github.

A Dropbox-like open protocol to synchronize files from and to any file storage using a simple SSH connection.

Livebuffer patch for VDR (not yet released)

Initiated the development of a new patch to add a livebuffer (timeshift) feature to VDR.

Contributions to other projects:

Created a patch that adds a new 'exec' directive to determine the system's state from the return value of a shell command.

Utilities:

In this category I want to insert various little shell tools and Java libraries that I'm frequently using. But before publishing these, I have to clean up the source and add licensing information.
