SOUNDBOARD
Soundboard is a Java based sound cueing application that will make building and executing your sound designs a snap.
A few simple playback, fade, pause, and stop cues can be used to create an elegant design that won't take you
more than 10 minutes to teach even the most inexperienced intern to run. Since Soundboard is built in Java,
it will run on just about any computer capable of running Java 1.6 or above, which means you don't need to buy
an expensive multimedia server to run your designs. And Soundboard supports Ogg-Vorbis and FLAC, in addition to other
common file formats. Soundboard is Free software available for download from from Sourceforge:

SHAKESCRIPTS
These perl programs are prototypes for applications I plan on
developing further in the future, but which are useful in their own
right for those comfortable working with command-line perl.
addFifthLine: Add
a line number to every fifth line of plays on the MIT
Shakespeare.
cueScriptGen: Create a cue script, a
script which contains only the lines for a character or characters
and their cues to speak, from a play on the MIT
Shakespeare.
charScenePlot: Create a plot of which
character is in which scene of a play on the MIT

RUBYTURGY
Rubyturgy is a Ruby application designed to assist students of literature, especially theatre, with textual
analysis. Currently it supports the ability to count all occurences of all words in a single text file (or URL),
and to compare occurences of a word across multiple files/URLs.
LW4::READER
LW4::Reader is a Perl module that will allow you to read a file created by John McKernon's
Lightwright version 4. Lightwright 4 was not available for POSIX
compliant operating systems, and this module was designed to make
reading those files and extracting key data easier. Since
Lightwright 4 has been superseded by Lightwright 5, I have ceased
active development of LW4::Reader.
