Umbrella - Lightweight Vehicle
Umbrella 0.3 is out. Changelog is ridiculously simple, but here goes anyway:

* Updated readme.html to reference correct file (libdatabase.asp
NOT libhogaboom.asp)
* Updated all page titles to say "Umbrella - The Vehicle
Tracking Database" instead of "Umbrella - Skookum's
Vehicle Tracking Database"
* Included the GPL license file, and corrected the readme.html
to identify the proper license.

There's one more modification I may make shortly, which would be to include a variable that would set the company name.

So you could replace the field "Skookum #" with
"eBay #" or whatever company name you wanted. A
little branding if you will. If you want this, write me and
ask. A little interest from other people is great motivation
for me.

This software was developed by Ralph Hogaboom at Skookum Contract Management as an interim solution while waiting for a much more sophisticated enterprise asset management program to be implemented. That's why the name includes the part about it being lightweight ;)

Skookum is a not-for-profit company that helps people with
disabilities. For more information about our company, please
see http://www.skookum.org. GPL for happy, happy, happy hips
and thighs.

See the readme.html for installation and configuration information. See license.txt for licensing information.

WSS Recover for Sharepoint 2003
Download
now (1.6 Kb; GPL licensed)



I can see that a lot of people (like me) have used SharePoint
Services (SPS) with the MSDE and have hosed the system. Then
they need to recover, or extract, the documents that are shared
in the Shared Documents on SharePoint. Aha! If you still have
MSDE database files, I can help. Witness the wss-recover.asp
file, version 0.1.

Download the .zip, and unzip it into the root directory of
your IIS webserver. For most folks, this is C:\inetpub\wwwroot.
Anyway, once unzipped, simply launch a handy browser and go
to http://servername/wss-recover.asp. The script will prompt
with default settings, and most people should be able to just
click through and get a list of their files. If you've changed
database names or what not, it'll be trickier for you.

Anyway, hope this helps someone.

guest registration software
Download now (265 Kb; LGPL licensed)
Screenshots :: Main Screen :: Search Results

Open-source, LGPL'd app for registering guests at a bed & breakfast or similar. Visual Basic 6, with some open source widgets ... can't remember which off the top o' me head. Uses MS Access for backend, allowing you to generate reports and search (ala OS X apps) for specific customers, etc. No longer under development.
