QuickXSL is the only template engine that supports standards recommended by the World Wide Web Consortium. This class encapsulates PHP 5's XSL class to provide an extremely easy way to manage XSL documents for a very efficient template engine system, oftentimes faster than my previous template engines. Benefits of using this class over directly accessing PHP's XSL functions is a caching mechanism and a simplified API. QuickXSL runs at least as fast or faster than Smarty-Light. Templates are compatible across every programming language that provides XML support. QuickXSL requires PHP 5. For more information on how to use XSL, read the XSL tutorials I've put into the journal.


deadaim2gaim is a small Perl script that will convert DeadAIM log files to GAIM log files, for those of you wishing to change operating systems, or just wanting to switch to free, open source instant messaging clients. This program does require Perl to be installed, but doesn't require additional modules. If you download the binary, you must run it from the command prompt. It is also highly recommend that you don't make the output directory be your GAIM log directory and instead copy the files after the fact.

deadaim2adium is a small Perl script that will convert DeadAIM log files to Adium log files, for those of you wishing to change operating systems, or just wanting to switch to free, open source instant messaging clients. This program does require Perl to be installed, but doesn't require additional modules. This program must be run on your Macintosh. It will not work otherwise. Run it from a Terminal window. You do not need a binary, as Perl is already installed on your Macintosh.


QuickTemplate is an even faster template engine, based on the written ideas of Brian Lozier on why template engines are a bad idea. This template engine takes his idea and implements it into a template engine that uses PHP as its syntax. It also adds support for caching. Template engines do not get faster than this. QuickTemplate requires any version of PHP greater than 4.1.0, as far as I know. There are a few bugs in the code, but it still works very well.


PaulBot is a robot, written in Perl, that signs on to AIM and talks to other AIM users at their request. It's not very bright, but it does provide hours of laughter.


Smarty-Light, a template engine based off of Smarty (2.5.0-CVS). It was designed to provide a small and fast version of the popular template engine. Smarty-Light is neither affiliated with, nor endorsed by the creators of Smarty. Due to a trademark violations, Smarty-Light is no longer supported or developed by me. However, updates are being made by other people under the name Flat Frog and alternatively Template Lite. For more information, read What happened to Smarty-Light? on the FAQ.
