Websites

  1. txtor

    Le txtor est mort, vive le txtor! (I killed the site).

    In case it is useful, I have released the source code of latest revision of the site under the WTFPL .

  2. obfuscatr / obfuscateordie

    Obfuscatr encodes email addresses or other "sensitive" information for use in XHTML or Javascript. Obfuscate or Die is just a stupid pun.

    Note: man this thing is ugly, what the hell was I thinking.
