Rizwan Kassim's INSERT TITLE HERE

Work that I've Done, Guides I have written, Stuff I found, A Bit about Me

Hi. I'm Rizwan Kassim. INSERT BLURB HERE.
I was going to do this site with a Wiki or Drupal until a conversation with Dan Kegel convinced me of the beauty of simplicty.
He describes his own site as a "over-grown bunch of notes" and I've found his extremely easy to navigate.

Projects

Old Time Radio/Public Radio

Old Time Radio Archive -- perhaps uploading my Jack Benny Archives? Or offering space to the IJBFC.
I had planned to write a series of scripts to automatically rip NPR content to MP3s for podcasts (only the stuff that they don't make available through audible

Comprehensive Perl Archive Network - My submission (soon) of Email:

Projects to do/in internal progress:

Make some upgrades to pathabbr and try to get it used a bit more.
Converting GNU Screen Cygwin port to standard Cygwin package
I'm actually pretty peeved about this. I had really intended to start the port from scratch and actually _make_ the port, but it seems its already been done.
Adding (VERY) basic Drag-Drop support to Cygwin/X - I just want to be able to drag files onto Nedit
Packaging BitchX IRC Client into Cygwin Install.

Figuring out what went wrong with my Google Interview.
Making a regex/sed 'cheatsheet' so I can finally use it daily without regoogling for info each time.
Moving site maintainance from CVS to Subversion --- once I decide if i like Subversion.
"Only until someone makes a software program that lets me control what to do with my typos" --- sounds like a request to me! Of course, Make magazine recently linked to some resources already.
Taking more advantage of the CVS management powers that this site has...
