Backing Up Your Data

After successfully making "Raspbentoo" on my disk partition (formatted as btrfs) by accidentally swapping a letter, and discovering btrfs' miserable recovery characteristics, I made a talk on how it is a good idea to make sure that your data is stored "somewhere else".

The New Hacker's Dictionary

I've created a new document on undocs which describes a new lexicon whose construction is in progress.

FMG: The Fast Markov Generator

To address time concerns with previous Markov generators, I wrote a version in assembly which, although having a slow constant-time component, goes practically the same speed for almost all practical sizes of input.

Senpai Simulator 2: Senpai Harder

I updated Senpai Simulator to be much faster in moving eyeballs around by twiddling joysticks.

The New Fsuvius Rich Text Grammar

I made a grammar for Fsuvius that generates all XML, as well as returned the "rename" function under the understanding that it wouldn't be abused again.

recursion.cslabs.clarkson.edu

Using a shitty Python library, I made a DNS server which answers all queries to "*.recursion.cslabs.clarkson.edu" to "recursion.cslabs.clarkson.edu".

Did You Know: XFCE Supports Animated Desktop Backgrounds [KINDA]!

I demonstrated how using a command-line utility to change the desktop background can be used to create an ~10FPS animated desktop background.

MOVfuscator

On lannonbr's suggestion, I demonstrated the MOVfuscator, a C89 compiler which generates only MOV instructions (and thereby shows that the MOV instruction, in its own model, is Turing complete), and nearly used it to compile newmanre's Shameboy.

Waifu2x

I demonstrated Waifu2x, a neural-net-based image upscaler that could also remove JPEG artifacts and preserve sharp lines for things which resemble anime.

Blender's New Networked Game Engine!

I designed a networking layer for the Blender Game Engine which automatically syncs physical characteristics, making it easy to design networked games.
