      STATUS : There is a working game, but I want it to be intergrated with jabber and thetofu.com. I have many ideas. I just need time to implement them. :)

  • Web Shell/Web Pipe/Internet Shell/AJAX Tools

    • URL : NONE INFO : The IT Lab wants to bring the power of the command line to the WEB. STATUS : This project is in discussion. Ideas will be added to MUSC's web portal.

  • form tools

    • URL : http://www.itlab.musc.edu/form_tools/form_tools_readme.html INFO : form_tools is a collection of CGI scripts and command line tools that can pre-populate Web forms (PDF and HTML) with data from a MySQL database as well as dump data submitted by a Web form into a MySQL database. Each Web form has a corresponding configuration file that controls how the CGI scripts and tools behave. Adding new forms that use other databases for input and output is simply a matter of creating a new configuration file for the new form. Author: Joshua Starmer

  • MySQL Import

    • URL : http://butterfat.net/mysql_import/readme.html INFO : The MySQL Import package consists of an HTML and a CGI script that allow people to import files into MySQL databases via the Web. Its main features are ease of use, allowing the user to specify arbitrary field and line delimiters, and automatic creation of new databases and tables on the fly. Author: Joshua Starmer STATUS : This project is just maintained by me.

  • MySQL Users

  • Table Export

    • URL : http://www.itlab.musc.edu/itlab/Projects/tableExport INFO : Table Export is a web based utility that allows you to export the table data from a web page into a convenient format (like a tab delimited file). This utility solves the annoying 'cut and paste' problem that comes up when you have a web page with data arranged in a table that you want to put into a spreadsheet. Before, when you tried to simply copy and paste the data into your spreadsheet, you would loose all of the table's original formatting. This utility solves these problems in a convenient way. STATUS : I took this project over from Josh too. I want this part of the Web Shell also.

  • tabmergehtml

    • URL : http://www.itlab.musc.edu/tabmergehtml/tabmergehtml.html INFO : tabmergehtml takes a tab-delimited text file and an HTML form as input and the output is the HTML form populated with the data in the tab-delimited file. This tool makes it easy to pre-populate HTML forms with data from databases. Author: Joshua Starmer STATUS : I took this project over from Josh too. I want this part of the Web Shell also.

  • phpSybaseAdmin (someone please take this over)

    • URL : http://www.itlab.musc.edu/itlab/toolbox/ INFO : phpSybaseAdmin is a hack on phpMyAdmin that has the same interface to a Sybase database.

      STATUS : Needs lots of work, has been dead for quite awhile. Still works though! :)

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

  • Are you a twin?
    • Yes, And I can feel his every inward impression, state of mind, and physical condition! It is amazing.
  • Why are they calling you tofu?
    • I do not like being called Chris, and when I was younger when someone said Chris, I would finish it with "topher". Then to make fun, someone called me Tofu and it stuck. It then became my handle when I was introduced to this thing called the internet.
