Programming projects to pursue:

  • Auto-renamer for the Audiogalaxy Satellite so your files will be named however you want. Actually it just needs to be tested with the new UI code.
  • PHP personal portal. And weblog (to supplant Blogger, once I decide to spend the $$$). And whatever else I want it to be.
  • An mp3 databasing scheme in partes tres:
    1. Scanning my local disks for mp3s and collecting the ID3 tag information, and then inputing that into a MySQL database. Looks like it will be in C++ with the MySQL++ API and the id3lib ID3 tag manipulation library
    2. Creating a web-interface (in php, of course) to said mp3 database with the ability to search on various terms and download mp3s from the library.
    3. No third one. I just wanted to say partes tres ("Omnia Gallia in tres partes divisa est....").

bookmarklets

Handy javascript #1:

google search. Right-click and bookmark this, or drag it to your links bar. Instant access to the web's best search engine.

Handy javascript #2:

m-w lookup. Look up a word or phrase in the Merriam-Webster online dictionary.

Universal Turing Machine in XSLT. Why would you want to do this? Ever? This is insane.

I have put up code snippets, two sets for now. termTitle is a small program for setting titlebars in terminals that support extensions (for example, xterm and SecureCRT 3.4+). The other is a set of minor shell hacks. If I write anything else useful, it'll show up eventually.

More minor bits of code: bookmarklets. Also, there is something broken with IE so that it didn't obey the style sheet properly when displaying the code. This has been fixed. Go to bits. I'm sure they'll be much more legible now.

One day I will have a cohesive color and structural scheme. But not today.

why sucking is good

I've thought this before, and here's Clay Shirky to explain much better than I could have why it's good that HTTP and HTML suck so much.
