Computer Software Stuff

Herein you may find various bits of general software, written by myself, most of which I have made available under the GNU General Public License. One or two things here are actually useful, while some things are mainly educational. The remainder is merely curious.

• ELF Kickers
  A collection of programs that access and manipulate ELF files. For Linux.
