• My famous quote

  I don't care what software you (the government) use, just don't cause me (when connecting to your systems) not to be able to use Free Software (when interacting with your programs). (2007)

• Stallman 2005 Taiwan visit

  StallmanAtTaiwan2005: For the last week of May, 2005 I was Stallman's bodyguard (well, escort), i.e., protecting innocent bystanders from getting squashed in case of any stumbles (joking, ha ha).

  Q: What did you eat on May 24? It's not on his list.

  A: I brought him to a US$1.50 all you can eat vegetarian place and the owner was unwilling to especially turn on the air conditioner. Luckily take-out was acceptable.

  LWN comments.

• Tiny scripts

  • Debian
  • spamdealer, filtering spam on the server for non-root offline users. More email ideas.
  • wwwoffle and offline / modem users, ppp tools
  • My emacs, gnus, etc. configuration files.
  • Checksum programs.
  • S1MP3 GNU/Linux ls(1)
  • at_xmessage: print messages on X windows at a certain time.
  • sitemap-jidanni-ch makes a map of my website.
  • My namecard solution.
  • showterminalcolors
  • buzz_tester: put your radio near your terminal and set it between stations, AM perhaps better than FM, and check out the effects of each different ASCII printing character on what you hear, running this: perl -we 'for $a ( ord " " .. ord "~" ) { $_ = ( chr($a) x 80 . "\n" ) x 24; system "clear"; print; sleep 1; }' I find dashes buzz little, and angle brackets buzz lots. Hmmm. Then I found tempest.
  • Find programs not used in a whole month:find ${PATH//:/ } -maxdepth 1 -atime +30 -type f -perm +111 | sort
  • Decompose Unicode variants : perl -C -nwe 'use Unicode::Normalize q(decompose); print decompose($_)' whereupon piping to e.g., iconv -f utf8 -t big5 is much smoother.
  • I managed to put a Chinese character into a favicon.ico file using: echo [Chinese character]|bg5ps -s 15| pstopnm -stdout -pbm -|pnmcut -bottom 333|pnmcrop|pnmpad -white -l1 -r1 -t1 -b1|ppmtowinicon -output favicon.ico back when I used big5.
