Cloaking email addresses on the web is mandatory these days thanks to the spam vermin out there. Joomla includes a nice content plugin that takes care of this task for you automatically. Unfortunately it also breaks form input values if they contain a pattern that appears to be an email address. The problem is caused by the "catch-all" generic search and replace the plugin does at around line 157 of /plugins/content/emailcloak.php. Here is a quick 'n dirty fix:

Find this (around line 157)

    while (preg_match($pattern, $text, $regs, PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE)) {
        $mail = $regs[1][0];
        $replacement = JHTML::_('email.cloak', $mail, $mode);

        // Replace the found address with the js cloaked email
        $text = substr_replace($text, $replacement, $regs[1][1], strlen($mail));
    }

.. and replace with this

    $offset = 0;
    while (preg_match($pattern, $text, $regs, PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE, $offset)) {
        if ($regs[2][0] != '"') {
            $mail = $regs[1][0];
            $replacement = JHTML::_('email.cloak', $mail, $mode);

            // Replace the found address with the js cloaked email
            $text = substr_replace($text, $replacement, $regs[1][1], strlen($mail));

            $offset += strlen($replacement);
        } else {
            $offset = $regs[2][1];
        }
    }

This should keep you safe if you are using double quotes to enclose your tag attributes, i.e., <input type="text" name="email" value=" This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ">

My plugin for DreamKeys that provides global hotkeys for controlling WinAMP and NetAMP.

Just drop the dll into your DreamKeys install path (i.e., "C:\Program Files\Dreamkeys" ).

• Tries to send commands to NetAMP first. If NetAMP is not running then tries WinAMP.
• Supports all standard MP3 player controls (Play, Pause, Rewind, Forward, etc.).
• 4 user-definable volume presets for quick volume setting. Useful when phone rings etc.

You can grab it from here: DK_AmpControl.dll

UPDATE:It looks like this product is not being supported any more. Bummer! In case their site goes down I've put a local copy here: DKSETUP.EXE

Plugin for XMMS that allows it to be controlled from remote Windows machines running the client for the WinAMP plugin NetAMP

• Default listening port is 31337
• Supports multiple connections
• Fixes small annoyance with NetampClient interpreting '"' in song title as keyboard accelerator

You can grab it from here: xmms-netamp-0.2.1.tar.gz

My modified XChat 1.8.7

• I like to use a mode prefix before nicks (i.e, <@BillyJoe> instead of just ). Mouseover a nick with mode prefix will now highlight correctly
• When connected via a psybnc to an eggdrop bot any incoming data contained a "blank" line causing Server Messages to be printed in the main window. Added a strlen check to take care of this.

You can grab it here: xchat-1.8.7-axel.tar.gz

My config files for XChat to mimic mIRC/ircN under MS Windows(R). Just drop them into your ~/.xchat folder and startup XChat.

• pevents.conf
• palette.conf

My modified version of the kicker applet by Flo Niebling

• Hotkeys now available for all basic XMMS controls
• 4 user-definable volume presets that can be mapped to hotkeys
• Makes use of "jump to file" modification I made to Xmms (see above)

You can grab it from here: xmms-kde-0.6.5-axel.tar.gz

My modified Xmms 1.2.6

• Playlist ID3 handling that more closely resembles WinAMP
• Added "jump to file" to xmmsctrl.h for access from external prgs

You can grab it here: xmms-1.2.6-axel.tar.gz
