+Software
+=======================================================================
+
+I am very supportive of
+[software freedom](http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html);
+ensuring everyone has freedom and control of their own computing, by
+protecting the right to freely use, study, modify and share programs.
+One of the ways I support this goal is by working on free software,
+some of which may be found in my
+[public git repositories](http://git.njw.me.uk).
+
+I strongly reject 'open source,' a term which was created to
+undermine the importance of freedom and collective welfare, and
+recast free software as nothing more than an efficient mode of
+production and profit.
+
+[Gentoo](http://www.gentoo.org)
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+A unix-like operating system that can be automatically optimized and
+customized for a variety of different applications or needs.

+My distribution of choice, within which
+[I am active](http://bugs.gentoo.org/buglist.cgi?email1=gentoo-bugs%40njw.me.uk&emailassigned_to1=1&emailreporter1=1&emailcc1=1&emailtype1=substring)
+in reporting and fixing bugs. I wrote the ebuild for the
+[icecat](http://www.gnu.org/software/gnuzilla/) package and modified
+the kernel eclass to enable automatic deblobbing with
+[linux libre](http://www.fsfla.org/svnwiki/selibre/linux-libre/).
+I also maintain a
+[personal overlay](http://git.njw.me.uk/cgit/cgit.cgi/njw-gentoo-local/)
+of some ebuilds I've built for it.
+
+[GetHT](http://www.nongnu.org/getht)

+[Hinduism Today](http://www.hinduismtoday.com).

+[GemRB game installers](http://git.njw.me.uk/cgit/cgit.cgi/gemrb-gameinstallers/)
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

+of the Infinity engine.

+Scripts
+=======================================================================
+
+"Spending 2 hours to accomplish in 2 seconds what could otherwise be
+done in 2 minutes."
+
+
+## [Readability simple](http://git.njw.me.uk/cgit/cgit.cgi/readability-simple/) and [remove links](remove-links.js)
+
+"The ever-present awareness of possibility to either make or refuse
+choice, was to preempt my creating any meditative space for myself"
+ - *Sean Birketts, The Gutenberg Elegies*.
+
+[Readability](http://code.google.com/p/arc90labs-readability/) is a
+program which decides which parts of a web page make up the core text,
+and rewrites the page to remove anything else. Unfortunately it was
+designed as a 'bookmarklet,' meaning that one must rely on external
+servers for its operation, with the speed, connectivity and privacy
+implications which that entails. I lightly reworked the code to remove
+some unnecessary functionality and ensure it can be easily used
+locally.
+
+I also created a simple companion script which removes all links from a
+page. I currently use these in [uzbl](http://www.uzbl.org), with the
+command: `chain 'script @scripts_dir/readability/js/readability.js'
+'script @scripts_dir/remove-links.js'`
+
+[Democracy Now! fetcher](fetchdnow.sh)
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The wonderful news programme
+[Democracy Now!](http://www.democracynow.org) provide FLAC, Ogg Vorbis
+and MP3 files of all of their episodes, but only a RSS feed for the
+MP3s. This script downloads the latest episode, in FLAC, Ogg Vorbis
+or MP3 format. I use this from a cron job to automatically fetch new
+episodes in my prefered format.
+
+[LWN fetcher](getlwn.py)
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The online publication [LWN](http://lwn.net/) provides excellent news
+on free software each week. However to access the latest issue one
+needs to log in to a subscriber account. This script just automates
+the login and download of the latest issue.
+
+[Encrypt email if possible](encrypt-if-possible.sh)
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+One feature I really wanted with the [mutt](http://www.mutt.org/) mail
+reader was to automatically encrypt email to anyone I have an OpenPGP
+public key for. This simple script accomplishes just that, and can be
+easily included in any mutt configuration.
+
+[Gather flagged email](gatherflaggedmail.sh)
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+I store my email in Maildir format, in a variety of folders, and read
+it using the mutt mail reader. This setup worked well for me, except
+that there was no way for me to easily see all flagged messages in any
+folder. This script enables this, by creating a dynamic folder with
+links to all flagged email.
+
+[File non-personal email](filenonpersonalmail.rc)
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+I find it useful to keep personal email separate from everything else I
+receive. This is a simple procmail rule which moves email from anyone
+not in my personal
+[alias](http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/manual-3.html#ss3.2)
+file into a different folder. This could be done more neatly with awk,
+but it has always worked perfectly so I'm leaving it be.
+
+[osCommerce Easy SEO URLs](http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/5901)
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+osCommerce doesn't have a robust plugin system, so it's particularly
+important to me that any modifications I make to osCommerce
+installations are as simple and maintainable as possible. I found this
+contribution to rewrite urls, which nearly did what I needed. I fixed
+some serious bugs, added a few little features, and generally made it
+a little more robust. I am currently maintaining the releases, and
+(time-permitting) handling bug and feature requests.
