Introducing b
I started using Mercurial to track my code a few months ago, and I absolutely love it. It gives me peace of mind when I make changes, and makes sharing my code between computers and with other people a breeze. Bug tracking is outside the normal realm of Version Control, but I realized the ease with which you can set up Mercurial would make an integrated bug tracker ideal - it lives with the code, and updates with code changes - every revision would not only be a snapshot of the codebase, but also the state of all known bugs.
After looking around at other options, I shelved the idea, unsatisfied with what I'd found, until I came across an elegant little task manager called t. It seemed almost ideal for what I envisioned - lightweight, well suited for tracking with version control, and easy to use. But it lacked some key features I really wanted, so I set about improving on it, and the end result is my new distributed bug tracker, b. While not a replacement for large bug tracking utilities like BugZilla, it's a great little tool for easily bug tracking projects that don't need all the extra fluff such larger projects provide.

Automatic JNLP Generator
A small little tool to make building and deploying JNLP files quick and easy. It build the XML so you don't have to, and most importantly it generates the codebase dynamically so that if the JNLP file changes servers or locations, it will still point to the correct place without you having to change it.
