This is a little project I did in an afternoon. I wasn’t really happy with the way any of the other ones worked. They were all too complex to fill out, or gave bad out, or were just programmed poorly, etc, etc.
So, like so many things, I couln’t find what I wanted, so I made my own. Just fill it out the fields and hit Calculate.
Note: This is is like uber version 1. I’ve got some more features planned for it soon 
UPDATE 12/18/09: New link added
UPDATE 12/19/09: v0.7 Release. Includes Network monitoring, bugfixes.
This are an ever growing compilation of scripts and code snippets that I have written or collected in a format that’s easy to understand and use. If you need any help feel free to email me at nic@nicinabox.com.
I encourage you to checkout some of the Desktop screenshots on Flickr (some are very nice!) for ideas.If you have a script or something clever you’d like to add to this collection, please contact me.

This is a Web 2.0 color palette that I’ve compiled in hopes of making having quick access to great colors. Feel free to use for any of your needs

This script uses the Last.fm API to get your 10 most recent played tracks. It dynamically displays and links to last.fm
Once every while, you encounter a website, which has interesting stuff available to you as a registered user only. No big deal, you just create an account and there you go. However, over time, the many, many user accounts with their passwords become hard to remember. You’ll just forget the cleverly crafted variation eventually, to find you struggeling again with yet another “forgot password” service variation.
A common solution is to have just one password for all of those sites, which are considered of low to medium risk if broken into. The problem with this is, that a rogue site owner might go out and impersonate as you, once they find out about other sites you may hang out with the same account. A little “social engineering”, and you can be in big trouble.
Now there is nothing wrong with a single, strong password, as long as it is not used literally. Enter the concept of a Master Password that generates a strong password, unique for every web site where it is used.
The password generator takes your master password and combines it with the domain name using the SHA1 algorithm created by the NSA. The, for added security certain letters are converted to uppercase
