Tools and other Cheap Hackery
Netcalc
Netcalc is a little network calculator that I wrote when working on PEAR::Net_IPv6. You can use it to calculate the following properties for either IPv4 or IPv6 network addresses.
IPv4 Network Calculations
- Host Address (AF_INET)
- Host Address (LONG)
- Host Address (HEX)
- Network Address
- Network Mask (AF_INET)
- Network Mask (CIDR)
- Network Mask (HEX)
- Broadcast Address
- Wildcard Mask
- Number of Addresses
- Network Range
- Usable Range
IPv6 Network Calculations
- Expanded Address
- Compressed Address
- Subnet Prefix (masked)
- Address ID (masked)
- Prefix Address
- Prefix Length
- Address Type
- Network Range
DVD and Book RSS Feeds
Visit NewHottness.com to use the tool and RSS Feeds.
Recently, I’ve been tinkering with the Amazon Web Services API and built a proof of concept page at NewHottness.com. Basically, it loads the latest list of new releases from Amazon.com and provides links to Netflix, Blockbuster, and many others. I think it’s handy because you can subscribe to it via RSS or just view the web site.
Ruby Fix Deprecated Statements
Recently, I wrote a blog posting describing how I was using Ruby to fix my Ruby code. Basically, there are a number of statements or conventions being deprecated in future versions of Ruby, so I wrote a few quick scripts to fix up all of my projects. Below, you will find links to the blog post as well as to download the scripts.
