Boring utilities for developers (primarily me).

http://wanderingdeveloper.wikidot.com

There's some working stuff there for automating build and deployment,
which I use for my own stuff and in my commercial development.

I'm currently working on two things that are exciting me:

1 - Wandering Developer Edit, a general purpose desktop editor which
will be able to download editors as plugins in a user friendly way.
It's supposed to be a techy person's swiss army knife - you could have
hex editors, database query tools, ldap query tools, tools for
encryption/decryption and digital signatures, etc etc etc. I'm
building it because I continually have the need for this kind of
thing, with a simple plugable framework. Also the plugins must be able
to have their own plugins, as deeply nested as is desired, all managed
through the same framework.

2 - Pak System, an general, free automatic update system, with
multiple client and server sides. Crucially, it'll have a lot of
intelligence about plugin dependencies and related issues, and manage
the interactions between versions and dependency trees. It's a hard
problem that I'm trying to keep simple as possible :-)
