Hmm, odd. What's that doing here?
This page houses things that don't really belong anywhere else. Short stories, configuration files, other things.
Blah.
wmpiki is a Fluxbox dockapp that uses ping to determine whether each of a short list of hosts is up and responsive, and lights a 'green LED' next to each host that is.
The default behaviour is to leave the 'LED' grey if the host doesn't respond, and I prefer more positive error indication, so the failure state is now a 'red LED' instead: the colour grey is seen only during initialisation.
Also, the config file has been moved to a slightly more intelligble location ($HOME/.dockapps/wpiki.conf as opposed to $HOME/.clay/wmpiki.rc).
Since my patch-fu is currently weak for some reason, the patch can be executed to apply it: if anyone can tell me what went wrong, I'd appreciate it. The patched executable appears to be fine.
Getting a list of function prototypes from a monolithic C library can be a little irritating, not to mention long-winded. Thus, I present the following submakefile, which can be called with the target 'headers' to get a fully-qualified function prototype list for said library. It's internally documented, but should save a reasonable amount of time if you do this sort of thing often.
FlashCardApp is a little Java hack that allows one to test their knowledge of a language. Unzip the archive into a directory on the system path. Create a text file consisting of newline-separated word or phrase pairs, arranged "foreign word (tab) english word", then say "java FlashCardApp filename", where 'filename' is the name of the aforementioned file. Have fun.
