Ver 0.1 of IM2Email is a little perl script that connects to a AOL IM server, collects all IM’s sent to it and sends them to the specified email address. This program was developed on the request of Vinit Bhansali who seemed to think that something like this would be useful.
Check it out over here and let me know what you think of it.
Coming Soon: Email2IM, which will send all emails it recieves as an IM to a specified AIM account.

I finally got my system completely back up and running so the CollageGenerator is back up. I haven’t completed the new version yet but I am hopeful that I should have it done by the end of the week.
Sorry about the downtime.

During a routine distribution update (apt-get dist-upgrade) of StarKnight (My primary workstation) something went wrong and KDE disappeared from my system. I tried reinstalling it but it still didn’t fix it. Then I played some more with the system and managed to mess it up even more. (I started getting segfaults when I try to install stuff and programs started giving wierd errors). So I am in the process of re-installing Debian on my computer and till thats done I am stuck using a windows machine. 
Now since StarKnight is down the Collage Generation page is also down as the backend processing for it was being done on StarKnight. I am hoping that I should have it back up and running by tomorrow but lets see how that works out. I will keep you posted.

Released Ver 0.1 of Suramya’s Collage Generator in the scripts section. This software creates a collage using images located using the Yahoo Image search based on your search terms.
The script was written in Perl and uses a modified version of webcollage to generate the collage. The current version is kind of slow (It takes about 45-60 secs to generate the collage) but I am working on improving that. The biggest delay is in downloading the images from the web and haven’t figured out to reduce that yet. I am also hacking the webcollage script further to reduce the collage generation time.
Check it out and let me know what you think.
Thanks,
Suramya
Update 3:40 am:
The server is really busy right now so the script times out before it generates the entire collage. I will fix it tomorrow… today… you know what I mean. Might move it to a different server to speed it up. Will keep you posted.
Update: 23rd March:
Moved the server component to my home computer which is a lot faster than the webserver. This speeds up the collage creation but its still pretty slow. Secondly the script seems to have problems with multiple word searches, I am trying to figure out why and how to fix it. If you have any idea’s let me know. I might convert this script to use google API’s instead of yahoo to make it more accurate. Lets see….
