End Of Year Home Directory Clean Out
I tend to accumulate lots of junk in my home directory. Today seems like a good day to get rid of it. Occasionally I find a quote funny enough to save in case I need it later, other times I need to run a quick program (or see if something compiles), basically there is lots of garbage, but hopefully some of it will be amusing enough. So presenting the slightly more interesting things which I've just deleted:
Quotes
"As old hands will be well aware, it's not a new C standard without an entirely new meaning for the static keyword." - Peter Seebach
"Too many errors on one line (make fewer)" - Apple MPW C compiler
"Open letter = Can't find your email address" (I'm not sure who wrote this)
Media
An old wallpaper I used to use.
Some drum patterns (these were done in rosegarden a while ago using a different drum patch, so they sound nothing like what they sounded like originally)
Various attempts at ripping just the audio track of a dvd. Why can't someone make this easy (bonus points if each chapter gets put into its own file).
This was taken from a log file I had of a Sony AIBO running around when I was at uni.
Other
Web site and executable served by a storm worm infested computer. Just out of curiosity.
Instructions for the automatic timer I use to turn my air conditioner off at night.
Rant about whitespace dependance in programming languages and why I don't like it.
One of the files I included in my vim configuration (which I shouldn't have deleted)
Programs
A program for finding square triangular numbers (like 36 = 6 * 6 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8)
This snippet (and testing code to make sure it works in the range I needed):
int v = i;
v--;
v |= v >> 1; v |= v >> 2; v |= v >> 4; v |= v >> 8; v |= v >> 16;
v++;
(probably from Bit Twiddling Hacks)
And finally:
cat /*dev/null; echo "Happy New Year"\!
cat <<c*/ /*dev/null | cat > /dev/null
c */ () {} /*
c */ main() { cat(); printf("Happy New Year!\n"); } /*
17 format(' Happy New Year!')
write (6,17)
stop
end
c This program runs in four languages with the same effect.
c The languages are C, Fortran, C Shell and Bourne Shell.
