A small collection of base classes used for interacting with remote machines over ssh. With them, you can use AMQP (via Symphony) to run batch commands, execute templates as scripts, and perform any batch/remoting stuff you can think of without the need of separate client agents.

A small Vim plugin that can find the current buffer's revision ID from a Mercurial repository.
Volta is a high performance, low resource URI rewriter for use with the Squid caching proxy server. With it, you can dynamically alter URI requests that pass through Squid based on various criteria. It uses a state machine to parse URIs and rules, and a constant database to store and access those rules. It can then either perform conditional rewrites internally, or by evaluating Lua scripts or bytecode.
A basic pdf processor plugin for the Thingfish digital asset manager. It extracts PDF metadata from uploaded files.
