Bitcoin Protocol

Stream of browsing, an article on doing a raw Bitcoin transaction came up.  Neat.

The Bitcoin wiki has some useful information about messages on the network.  It might be neat to make a client that just sits and monitors traffic.

Software TNC

From a ham friend: the Dire Wolf software TNC (forum) that can run on a Raspberry Pi or Beaglebone Black.  Sweet!

BTC Stuff

A couple interesting things: CoinShuffle (forum, paper) and libbitcoin (main, Perl lib).

Lotus Notes URLs

Yeah, we're still using Lotus Notes.  I needed to generate URLs pointing to a Notes database, and found the script to do so on da interwebz.  Check the comments for a more complicated script.  Works for me.

Portable Apps

AE mentioned this to me a long while ago (18 months or so), and I forgot to link it: software called Portable Apps that enables running other software from a USB drive or off the network (I hate saying "the cloud").

He also recommended the Super Talent Pico drive, but that's kind of a ripoff of the Sony ones I've been using for quite some time.

OS X Burning Software

Alternatives to Roxio Toast 10, which has horrid reviews on Amazon, include Burn and LiquidCD.  I downloaded the latter two, but haven't tried burning anything with them yet.  I discovered I hadn't upgraded to the last version of Toast 7 (7.1.3) yet.

rsync Algorithm

Cool.
