kairho projects

This page was thought to be the core of kairho.de, a place for me to publish some of my projects and ideas.

Releases:

I got some new projects going, some which may actually lead to a release ;) First to hit the streets will be a vbscript introducing a protocol handler to firefox and IE for Red Orchestra links: download

PDFtk GUI will be released when it's done (current status: discontinued). For more info check out the blog: April 13, April 29, May 24.

Ideas:
Yesterday I got mail from O2, my cell phone provider. Nothing special, just commercials. But it brought me to this idea: For 2,95 Euro a month, O2 can collect all my mails and send me a SMS every time new mail is availible. Further, I can send and recieve mails via WAP / GPRS for free. That's quite cool already, but the interessting part is still to come. Wouldn't it be great to get my IM Messages on my handy too? There's a miranda plugin that puts all incoming messages to files instead of displaying them on the screen. So all I nead to do is write a program that opens that file, puts the content to a mail and send it to my mail acount. Et voilą, I get a SMS notification containing the first 100 characters of the message from O2.

Other projects I'm thinking of:

I'm looking for a winamp plugin that displays the album cover of a song when beeing played and retrieve it from amazon.com or somewhere else if missing. And how about letting the plugin get lyrics or ID3-tags from the internet too? The plugin would be written in C++.

The second idea is a filesharing client... Of course there are enough p2p clients on the web, but this one would be different. I would design it to especially fit the needs on LAN. Since I never used .net before, I guess I'll give C# a try.

Update: At last I found a winamp plugin (Toaster) to display album covers. So I'll cancel the winamp plugin project I guess.
