301

Published July 9th, 2008, updated September 30th, 2008.

301 is an uri redirector. It allows you to create short links for complex web addresses. Just submit a longish uri at 301.sickos.org, and you will get a short link that points to the original address. You can pass this on twitter, in irc or whereever you want to avoid complex web addresses.

301

This service was inspired by tinyurl.com and monkey.org/sl. In contrast to their services, 301 comes along with full python source code. This give you freedom to run your own 301 service and adopt it to your needs. Get the source code at benjamin-schweizer.de/files/301/.

hint: use pedit to manage the link database

Entropy Password Generator

Published March 27th, 2008.

Entropy is a password generator. It generates two kinds of passwords: i) low entropy passwords that humans can easily remember and ii) high entropy passwords as commonly used in stored sessions. The low entropy passwords are generated from the Basic English vocabulary by C.K. Ogdeni. The high entropy passwords are random alpha numeric passwords where similar looking characters are stripped.

This application is writte in Python and supports both, a CGI interface for your web server and a command line interface. From a security perspective, I strongly recommend the command line version after reading the source code.

Social Bookmarking

Published February 29th, 2008, updated August 31st, 2008.

At sickos.org, Andreas and I run a copy of the social bookmarking software Scuttle. Basically, it is an open source implementation of del.icio.us (or at least, as delicious was back in 2006). Scuttle development has slowed down, but we keep up running this service and patch bugs every now and then. If you want to join us, read the documentation here and feel free to add your bookmarks there.

Imageproxy

Published April 24th, 2006, updated February 29th, 2008.

This is a caching and scaling proxy for images that are accessible via http. It is designed for the use in weblogs where you want to refer to images on foreign hosts without the need of manual mirroring or scaling. After an initial fetch, the (scaled) pictures remain in the local cache directory. It is tried to reload the image when the cache expires, otherwise the old image is delivered.
