Clisp Snippets

I’ve been playing around with the Land of Lisp, which is an awesome book written for Common Lisp, Gnu Clisp to be specific. So, I like vim, and I like SnipMate, but SnipMate doesn’t ship with any lisp snippets, and I couldn’t find any on github, so I wrote my own, albeit incomplete, set. You can find [ READ MORE ]

List

In my quest to provide something everybody already has, I present to you List, a simple Linked List implementation in Ruby. You can get it here, if you really want to. This is my first experiment in test driven development, and it definitely produced many more tests than any other code I’ve written. We’re talking 8 tests [ READ MORE ]

Obscuring Information in Function Calls

While the usefulness of this is questionable, it is possible to obscure valid information in a bogus function call. Check out the following code: You can then write the following code: And it should print out “127.0.0.1″. What’s more, the actual call looks like an internet connection, not something that might print something. Again, the [ READ MORE ]

Announcing BerryConf

I am pleased to announce BerryConf! BerryConf is a simple but easy to use Java library for parsing and managing configuration files! It’s still in beta, but it works well, and I’m using a very similar system in one of my latest projects, which I can’t say a whole lot about, but It is looking [ READ MORE ]

New network testground

My family has 3 routers. An old D-Link, a new Linksys N router, and another router that looks like a mac. After cleaning out my closet, I moved all my old computers, the old PC, an old iMac running Yellow Dog Linux (Soon to be ubuntu) and the iBook into the closet, and networked in [ READ MORE ]

This long story starts with me noticing that my one and only external drive had a USB connection. I had previously though connected this drive to computers other that macs was impossible, but I now realize that was wrong. So I plug the hard drive into my Acer laptop, and it borks. After fiddling around [ READ MORE ]

Deady and irc bots.

I recently got involved in the creation of irc bots. It is common knowledge that my language of choice is ruby, so I set about making a bot in ruby. None of my friends had used ruby, they had used perl and PHP. I got an IRC library, and improved it, adding support for joining [ READ MORE ]

Switching to the zsh SHell

As you know, I have a laptop running Ubuntu 8.10. A while ago, I installed the shell, zsh. I had first heard of zsh from the live CD distro, SystemRescueCd. It used a nice installation of zsh, and I wanted to use it on my Ubuntu machine. I installed zsh, and went through the configuration. [ READ MORE ]
