title: Scripts and More
---

<p>
I wrote a couple quick utilities this weekend.  The first one is <a href='/download/cex-0.1.0.tar.gz'>here</a>; it allows you to write C as if it was a scripting language.  Something like this, for example:
</p>

<pre>
#!/usr/bin/env cex

#include &lt;stdlib.h&gt;
#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
  printf("foo\n");
  return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
</pre>

<p>
It's a total hack, but it's still kind of entertaining.   Anyway, the second utility is just a <a href='http://www.procmail.org/'>Procmail</a> log colorizer.  That's available <a href='/download/proccolor.pl'>here</a>.

Random stuff.  <a

article about the worst roommate in the world.
<a href='http://ps.superb.net/cardtric/tricks/intermed.htm'>Here</a> is
a huge list of card tricks (I just bought a deck of cards a few days
ago, and <a href='http://www.hhmecca.net/'>Alonzo</a> was showing me
some magic tricks he knew).  <a
href='http://www.minion.de/nvidia/'>Here</a> are patches for the <a
href='http://www.nvidia.com/'>NVidia</a> kernel driver so it will work
under the 2.5 kernel (I haven't tried them yet).  Looks like <a
href='http://www.snowman.net/'>Stephen</a> had a <a

early birthday present from <a
href='http://home.att.net/~rduncan618/'>my dad and stepmom</a>: a Lian
Li PC61 case!  I haven't set it up yet, but <a

a picture of Alonzo checking it out, and <a
href='http://www.pablotron.org/gallery/misc/20021027-lian_li_pc61_case.jpg'>here</a>
is a picture of it on it's own.  Finally, here's my random picture of
