WMI to a remote machine from PHP. this is part of a script that automatically installs the MS iSCSI initiator on a remote machine, provisions LUNs on a target via libzfs/libstmf, configures the remote machine to connect to the target portal and sets up the target to be persistent, and then initializes the new iSCSI disks/partitions them/formats the partitions. eventually going to clean this up and make it into a group of functions, but yeah.

fucking COM

After installing DD-WRT on my router, I modified some guy's script that auto-loads dnsmasq entries and a hosts file to send ad- and malware domains off to an instance of pixelserv so that the result would be a bit gentler on my router (link goes to that guy's implementation): http://hotfortech.wikispaces.com/How+to+remove+advertisements+with+pixelserv+on+DD-WRT

I altered the script so it would choose something other than MVPs, which is full of false positives: http://jansal.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/adblock/disable_ads.startup

I instead pointed it to a HOSTS file I made based off what SpywareBlaster adds to Restricted Sites; it's much smaller than the MVPs file (so it all fits on my router's flash memory) and free of false positives AFAIK.

I know I didn't make the code but I am proud of digging in there to change all references from MVPs to something else and to change the parameters of sed to deal with a redirection IP of 0.0.0.0 rather than 127.0.0.1 and to make this work with a router set to 192.168.0.0/8 instead of 192.168.1.0/8

I wish I could post it, but it's company code and it's across like 1,000 different files, but I uniquely priority threaded and typed certain javascript methods we use. I used some really cool tricks, but a bit too much to post here and I'm not even sure I'm legally allowed to.

if it's javascript, where are you using it that you're not posting the source anyway?

Internally accessible pages.

10/16/2010 10:37:19 AM

All my code is either Objective-C or Java. And none of it is super duper interesting unless you can see the end result.

I wrote a genetic algorithm for function optimization in Java for an AI course in my junior year.

And then as a grad student I rewrote it in Matlab for a course called Soft Computing.

Unfortunately, I don't have any of them now, and that makes me sad. Because those were the best programs I ever wrote (simple for y'all, but something big for me).

Another awesome program I made in Java was a resurrection of the old school game from QBasic called Gorillas (2-player). Every time you started it, it generated a random skyline and there were 2 gorillas randomly placed on top of two of the skyscrapers. The 1st player had to enter the speed (m/s) and angle (degrees) for the his/her gorilla to throw the banana at, which followed projectile motion, to hit the other gorilla (which killed it and you scored a point). If you missed, it was the other player's turn. Anytime a gorilla got killed, a new skyline was generated automatically. You could also change the value of gravity before the start of the game, and the direction and speed of wind was indicated by an arrow and value (in m/s) in one corner. Of course, the wind had to be taken into account when entering the speed and angle for the banana.

The best was when your opponent's gorilla was placed behind a really tall building so you had to shoot the banana at like an angle of 85 degrees (sometimes 88 or 89) with extremely high speed... it went out of the screen (sometimes for half a minute to a minute or longer) and continued projectile motion and reentered the screen (hopefully) and hopefully hit the gorilla.

I really wish I still had that program cuz that was fucking baller, and I absolutely loved playing that game... I had become good enough to hit the gorilla on the first shot in a lot of cases. Or I wish I could at least get some modern version of the original game, if it exists.

Youtube video capture of the original QBasic Gorillas, for those who don't know... must see!

OMFG I haven't heard that startup music for like 20 years... takes me so far back

Screenshot:





Nibbles (video at http://xspblog.com/2008/11/11/abandonware-nibblesbas-pc ) was another awesome game that came with QBasic and that I was really good at... gone are the days of simple but amazing games such as those, alas!

oh, also I'm pretty proud of this captcha. not because it was especially difficult to write, but because I feel that it's fairly readable and somewhat challenging to break compared to most of the ones I see today.

In any order, you type the two words that are in a circle. Is it unreadable or is that too hard?

the "any order" part makes it less ambiguous

^^^they should be easy enough to ignore. I was just having a little fun there; I doubt they could do much to confuse a bot but who knows? if anyone is interested, I'd love to explain why I think it's relatively hard to break.

Jesus christ those are some long methods

Why can't people make code readable? Nevermind constants

     score = HandType.ROYALFLUSH;
}
else if (isStraightFlush(hand))
{
     score = HandType.STRAIGHTFLUSH;
}
else if (isFourOfAKind(hand))

     score = HandType.FOUROFAKIND;
}

{
     score = HandType.FULLHOUSE;
}
else if (isFlush(hand))
{
     score = HandType.FLUSH;
}
else if (isStraight(hand))
{
     score = HandType.STRAIGHT;
}
else if (isTwoPair(hand))
{
    score = HandType.TWOPAIR;
}
else if (isOnePair(hand))
{
     score = HandType.ONEPAIR;
}
else
{
     score = HandType.NOTHING;
}

10/17/2010 8:54:59 PM

Even better:

Hand hand = Hand.create();
hand.printScore();

make a Hand object
then just make a each type of hand extend Hand
makes it way easier to create new hands and such and reduces the cyclomatic complexity.

Using objects? In CSC 116?


But I agree. Though that logic to determine what kind of hand it is would then just be in the object instead of the application.

10/17/2010 10:17:03 PM

I don't know that I've ever been proud of code...once you solve the problem in your head, on paper, whatever, the code is just that solution in a different language. Nothing more.

Unless you're one of those types that bashes away at code until you stumble on the solution through trial and error.

10/17/2010 10:29:34 PM

It's a lot cleaner to have it there, not to mention the logic would be done at instantiation, so it won't be duplicated across the program

I think you are missing out on the fundamental strength of the object-oriented paradigm, dude.

QUICK, SOMEONE GENERATE A UML DIAGRAM FOR 52 CARD CLASSES. WE NEED 4 SUIT INTERFACES AND 13 ABSTRACT VALUE CLASSES. ON MY DESK BY TOMORROW MORNING.

you are some kind of asshole if you think a card suit is anything but an enum though for real

talk about the classic example

10/18/2010 10:17:07 AM

that code needs a Reformat Document

oh ok, here's something i'm proud of. no code to show off, but still pretty cool

back in the day, i used to manage college bookstores and every semester we would have to type in the entire course catalog by hand so we would know which courses hadn't had textbook requisitions submitted yet. obviously this took freaking forever, was prone to error, and was difficult to update after the course catalog was printed and courses were moved/dropped/added.

so i wrote a program to continuously scrape and monitor changes to the course catalogs at about 20 different universities. that was pretty fun by itself, but there wasn't a good way to import that data into our company's custom bookstore management program. we used SSH clients to telnet into an AIX server that ran a Textual User Interface application. incredibly, the ssh client (securecrt) has an automation api, so i wrote some javascript to read the course catalog dumps, and simulate the key presses necessary to type all the data into our program. it was pretty fun watching the expression on my regional director's face when i showed it to him the first time. and then, i took it a step further and made it so that when we acquired new stores, we could import the old store's data (including all textbook information) into our program, saving years of valuable textbook usage and sales history.

but then, i asked for a raise and they said no, so i left. i even offered to do it on a contractual basis for the low, low price of $25/hr and they still balked. -shrug- oh well

Remote synchronization of statewide traffic signal data in an occasionally connected app (C++).

Employer dropped Oracle Light license, wouldn't trust any open-source code, and didn't want to purchase third-party sync software. It was my first real app out of college. The app as a whole was a beast, but I'm definitely most proud of the sync code and the entity generator I wrote to handle any schema changes. It still works today with near zero conflicts/collisions.

Nothing special. Just references two predetermined memory locations and displays which value is greater.

kind of proud of some VB .NET code I wrote 3 years ago to automate pulling daily reports from access databases and merge them all into one PDF document. I'm only proud of it because I haven't touched that shit since until a guy was doing basically the same thing by hand the other day, and I was like "I can work on that for you..." And the framework I had written 3 years ago was sufficient to write the new app without any changes.
