Mongoose is easy to use web server. It also can be used as embedded web server library to provide a web interface to applications.

Mongoose executable does not depend on any external library or configuration. If it is copied to any directory and executed, it starts to serve that directory on port 8080 (so to access files, go to http://localhost:8080). If some additional config is required - for example, different listening port or IP-based access control, then a mongoose.conf file with respective options (see example) can be created in the same directory where executable lives. This makes Mongoose perfect for all sorts of demos, quick tests, file sharing, and Web programming.

Homebrew is the easiest and most flexible way to install the UNIX tools Apple didn't include with OS X.

Getting Erlang installed on your Mac isn't really all that difficult. You can just download it from http://erlang.org/download.html and build from source. But if you want to plan for future lazyness, then Homebrew is the way to go. Homebrew is quickly becoming the package manager of choice for OSX, so it will not only get your Erlang installed quickly and easily, but many of your other *NIX-y tools of choice. Go here http://wiki.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/installation for download instructions. I strongly suggest reading the whole page before you start. Once you have it installed just go to the Terminal (yea you are already there if you installed Homebrew) and type 'brew install erlang'. After it completes downloading and making the source (yes Homebrew just automates the available .configure/make/make install process) you are ready for the next step.

Managing software packages on Unix has always been, to put it politely, a giant pain, and most Linux distributions are built around the different ways we’ve all been trying to alleviate that pain. In this post, I’ll walk you through Homebrew, a fantastic new option for package management made simple.

Days Left sits in your dock, telling you how many days are left to a certain due date. That due date can be set in its preference window. Thanks to Stéphane Sudre's WBCalendarControl you can enter it nicely. If you want the same in the menu, you can use the Countdown menu extra, which can be found on Britta's excellent super OS X menubar items list. However Days Left only counts full days, and switches at exactly 00:00 hours. (It does so with a timer to not waste usefull CPU cycles, and updates on wake and sleep). I put this little thing right next to iCal and let it show me the Days Left until my next most important day. Use it for whatever purposes you want! It's free... take it!

Tesseract is a quirky command-line tool that does an outstanding job

This page contains the rest of the tools. They don't fit on any specific category.

These little open source tools were coded when I needed a specific solution for a specific task so they are very minimal and focused on only one thing. They are mostly quick hacks that I put together fast, so the code is not very beautiful or optimized.

They are all released with the full source, under the GPL. If you make changes or enhace the tools I'd love to have a copy.
