cssmergeколи под наем is a commandline utility which extracts selected blocks of CSS from multiple input stylesheets, and merges them into a single coherent output stylesheet, with optional comments on where they came from, and warnings about conflicting styles.

It is written in Perl 5 and requires the CSS module from CPAN. Other than that, it’s just a simple perl script; download it, rename it to cssmerge, and run it. The license terms are the same as for Perl itself. Documentation is in POD format within the script (ie, type perldoc cssmerge)

I welcome your feedback; you can either leave a comment on the announcement for the version you are using, or email ben@removethisbit.qolc.net.

v1.12 of cssmerge has now been released. The main change is to fix the --exact option that was broken in v1.10. This option is not normally useful anyway, but I thought I might as well fix it.

Download here.

I’ve also changed the licensing to just GPL, as I’m not convinced about using Artistic on scripts (as opposed to modules).

xex is a small and simple program launcher for X, written in Perl-Gtk2.

If you find yourself frequently loading up an xterm just to run one X command, you may find this useful. Unlike all the other similar programs I could find, it aims to have the minimum necessary feature set (ie, a history list), and occupy the minimum amount of screen estate possible (while still being readable).

Version 1.3 is the first public release, under the GNU GPL. Download xex 1.3.

There are so many new features in tableau 2 it’s hard to describe them all. It’s gone from being a pretty basic and ugly table editor to something that could be suitable for all sorts of applications and, dare I say it, it looks a bit nicer too. Here are some screenshots.

The following projects have been retired because they are obsolete, insecure, unmaintainable or otherwise embarassing :-

If you’ve visited before, you may notice things look a bit different now. I’ve retired my old hand-crafted HTML in favour of some blog software (namely Wordpress), primarily to make it easier for you to keep up with new releases by using the RSS/Atom feeds.

If you hate the colour scheme, don’t worry, I’ll be providing a way to change it shortly… I’m a programmer, I like black.

Version 2 of tableau will be released soon. I just want to get this blog vaguely set up first.
