Drunk Bastard
June 7th, 2008Layout
June 2nd, 2008One avid reader noticed my home page was now devoid of images. I’ve used divs for the art work and a method of using bullet points and css to round corners.
When css 3 hits the tubes we wont need dirty hacks for rounded corners we’ll be able to just set them on. Hurrah for css 3.

After messing with a flash light I decided write a quick and dirty python program to convert morse code.

Pidgin
May 11th, 2008
Kids who can’t spell get pidgin
As a Linux user Microsoft doesn’t provide a client to log on to msn messenger. This is where a program called pidgin comes in. It’s a multiple platform multiple protocol messaging client that supports all the protocols I’ve heard of and then some. The knave of all skilled occupations it seems.
But as the phrase goes master of none. It lacks many of the features I’m used to on msn such as handwriting support and personal messages. But these features are in development. So after downloading, patching, compiling, wiping my entire contact list, adding my entire list again, some more compiling, sleep, more compiling then finally just deleting my account out of the list and adding it again and all the problems were fixed. Success!

pyTribalcalc & phpTribalcalc
May 8th, 2008I wrote pyTribalcalc to calculate the time different units would take to reach other players villages on the browser game tribalwars and to do some other semi useful things.
It’s written in python which is interpreter language. You need to install python to use it.
It’s not a pretty app infact it’s command line, but it gets the job done.
I wrote phpTribalcalc as a php conversion of the python version. At the moment it only calculates the distance and the time of the units unlike the python version.
These two projects were my first python and php programs respectively so I’ve probably broke all kinds of conventions.
You can get pyTribalcalc here and use phpTribalcalc here.
