Obsolete Software

This page collects software I have written that is for one reason or another, obsolete. Either they have been replaced by better or better-integrated replacements, or due to time concerns, I have not been able to maintain them for use in changing environments.

GNOME applets

I wrote a number of GNOME 1.x applets which have not been updated to GNOME 2.x.

Python modules

I wrote a Python interface to the C library function mkstemp, because it wasn't provided in Python 1.5.x, and there was therefore no way to get safe temporary files from Python. Python 2.x includes mkstemp in its standard os module, so this module is no longer needed.

GNOME Global Menu

I packaged and provided integration for someone else's patches to provide GNOME 1.x with a Mac-like single global menu. These patches do not apply to Gnome 2.x, and I have not had the time to learn enough GTK2 programming to re-create this effect, even though there is probably better infrastructure for it in GTK2.
