I’m currently cleaning up my disk a bit, so here’s some semi-interesting stuff I had lying around:
A colleague’s unfinished game prototype that was running on my machine for more than two days, fully utilizing one core the whole time. Without me noticing.
A screenshot of reddit from when I submitted gti. MICROS~1 released the long-awaited Visual Studio 2012 (aka the IDE for Windows 8) the same day, after years of work. The ranking is probably a bad sign for programming-reddit’s quality but I found it amusing nonetheless.
Someone (not me) installed gti
on a BeagleBoard – a small ARM-based development board. Absolutely useless, because there isn’t even git
on this specific machine but – well, it’s pretty cool, isn’t it? Also, it’s good to know that the VT100/ANSI-Terminal control codes I used work pretty much everywhere.
Staying firmly in the “hacks nobody ever asked for” department, here’s a prototype of a JavaScript-based image-to-ascii-art converter. It’s not as polished or as good as I’d like but it works, sometimes. I originally wanted to make it a bit better before releasing it, including a font selector and stuff but …well, I didn’t. Maybe sometime later. It’s not on github yet but it will be soon. Here’s a demo output:
