Speaker Housing


This weekend I finished my speaker housing so I can have some sound on the veranda.
It was a lot more work that I had hoped, I'm still sore. My reciprocating saw didn't survive the experience either.

Unfortunately, I still have some work to do:
  1. put some edge strip laminate in the missing parts
  2. plane down this piece so that it's flush.
  3. Hide the screws. I bought some covers, but I realize now they won't work, all my screws are flush and they must be protruding.

Unison Bash Completion

If you don't use unison to keep folders synchronized you really should, it's great. It's like a two way rsync program. Problem is I end up synchronizing a bunchy of folders in different locations for different projects and I prefer to start unison at the command-line. What I want is bash completion for unison. It's not that difficult to setup. I just created a file in /etc/bash_completion.d called "unison" and it looks like this: _unison() { local cur prev opts COMPREPLY=() cur="${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD]}" opts=$(python -c 'import glob,os,os.path;x = glob.glob(os.path.expanduser("~/.unison/*.prf")); print " ".join([os.path.split(y)[-1][:-4] for y in x])') COMPREPLY=( $(compgen -W "${opts}" -- ${cur}) ) return 0 } complete -F _unison unison-gtk The python part is all one line and it goes to my ~/.unison folder, lists all the *.prf files and then just gets

Shortest Sudoku solver in Python

Mark Byer's site has some more Sudoku solvers here's a short one in Python that's only 178 bytes long: def r(a):i=a.find('0');~i or exit(a);[m in[(i-j)%9*(i/9^j/9)*(i/27^j/27|i%9/3^j%9/3)or a[j]for j in range(81)]or r(a[:i]+m+a[i+1:])for m in'%d'%5**18] from sys import*;r(argv[1]) On the site is also shown a longer Perl version at 185 bytes: use integer;sub R{for$i(grep!$A[$_],@x=0..80){%t=map{$_/27-$i/27|$_%9/3-$i%9/3&&amp;amp;amp;$_ /9-$i/9&&($_-$i)%9?0:$A[$_]=>1}@x;R($A[$i]=$_)for grep!$t{$_},1..9;return$A[$i]=0} die@A}@A=split//,<>;R I think the Python version is slightly easier to understand, although they are both quite cryptic. I'm not sure why I find these programs fascinating. I think it reminds me that any program can be written in such a way that it's cryptic, even in Python. In addition, the code is small enough that you should be able to figure out how it works, and may learn something the process. Related is

wny am I happy about the death of some people?

Unfortunately, I'm staring to be happy that certain people have died.  Like Fred Koch and, more recently, Donald Rumsfeld.. Frankly these are both people that should be celebrated for dying and not continuing the evil they perpetrated. More succinctly, they should be remembered for doing more evil than good during their lifetime and it is overall better that they have died than live a minute longer on this earth. These people can't repent but others (like Mitch) should link about their legacy. How many of us will be so happy that they are dead. Donald isn't the worst of them, but should be remembered for all of the evil that they have committed.
