I'm happy, Thatcher is dead.

Some stuff

The best program is the one you write.

Oct 19, 2013: audiotag 0.5 forced me to release it in the wild. That thing has no moral whatsoever.

Oct 14, 2013: a song! Featuring Eliz at vocals. Yes, she rocks. (And I really need to work my mixing...)

Oct 04, 2013: a little program to bip when there is new email in an IMAP server. icecrapdove / thundercrapbird does not work, no. The bip does not work because I removed pulsecrapaudio I think. And even if it did, I want it to bip every minute for as long as I didn't read the email. It took me too long to write this little hack, I'm not happy tonight...

Oct 02, 2013: a quick hack to solve scrabble games (french for the moment). (Hell! september is gone. So revolution is for october or what?)

Sep 24, 2013: audiotag 0.4 has decided to be released in the wild. Crazy little program that you are, do you think your many bugs deserve public scrutiny?

Sep 11, 2013: garbrainge is up and running. A place to throw noise.

1. Code

Alphabetical order.

• Audiotag: a small tool to visualize big audio files in a very responsive GUI.
• Casse-tete: a little reflexion game.
• Chat: a secure underground one to one chat system.
• Effects: some old code. It waits for some audio, applies an effect on it and sends audio back to soundcard.
• Gcomposer: a program to compose music. It has a graphical user interface, is very keyboard-centric and provides audio feedback.
• Gtkcooker: an abstract GUI language. The GUIs of gcomposer and xgprof are written with gtkcooker.
• Mark_malloc: a tool to detect memory leaks in your C programs.
• OA: a tool to experiment with sounds.
• Phone: a very simple SIP audio client, because linphone is a horrible bloat.
• Phpoor: a secure connection with a PHP web server.
• Player: a simple audio player, because VLC is a bloat.
• Popit: a very simple program to quickly check your messages on a POP3 server. Has a nice GUI.
• Posix: a game.
• Rubiclox: an implementation of the Rubik's clock. 3D javascript version of it.
• Rubix: a 3D implementation of the Rubik's cube.
• SedWM: 1.2 (2008/05/16) 1.1 (2008/04/07) 1.0 (no real date) A Window Manager for X Window.
  [ Screenshot ]
  Not as small as TinyWM.
• Songs: a little tool to record and mix audio files. It has a graphical user interface.
• Spectrojack: a spectrogram for the Jack world.
• Sverb: a nice order 15 CFDN reverb. "Reverb" means "artificial reverberation". It adds naturalness to audio files, by providing a feeling of presence in some kind of room. It is a very common audio effect, but a bit costly.
• Tinlink: A program to make small ELF programs.
• Virtual drum machine: virtual drum machine is a non-GUI drum machine.
• Xgprof: a faster gprof with a nice GUI.
• Xlightoff: a little reflexion game (known as quinto I think).
• Xsoundtrack: A program to create music based on samples.
• 624: a port for linux of the 624 compression program.

2. Some hacks, stuff...

• A little program to bip when new mail is there on an IMAP account.
• A little hack to solve scrabble games.
• Some hacks with orange, the ugly ISP.
• Turkish stuff (wiktionary rocks).
• How to update the BIOS of your ACER Aspire Timeline X 5820TGZ to have real battery status in gnu/linux.
• Some raytracing stuff.
• Some archos g9 hacks.
• Some android rooting stuff.
• Some android stuff.
• Here are the releases for a programming contest where I won the jury's prize.
• grindplot, a data language to display stuff over the Earth.
• A tool to browse and search in the infamous file cables.csv that contains all the unedited diplomatic cables you may have heard of.
• Connect to freenode via the web interface, but! with an IRC client.
• How to download music from myspace.
• smokenrg-1.0.c. A little hack to extract audio files from an NRG file (proprietary format of the Nero software).
• crack-indy3-last-crusade.c. A crack for the game Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Useless. ScummVM lets you play, load and save it... indy3-opcodes.c is a barbarian disassembler I made because I didn't know I had to use the -n option of descumm. It's nevertheless a cool disassembler, because it reads any file and tries to disassemble what it can, not failing if it gets garbage. (Script 204 of room 92 is the guilty one here!)
• crack-indy4-fate-of-atlantis.c. A crack for the well known game Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. Useless because ScummVM already bypasses the protection. But many many years ago I struggled hard to crack this game and I failed. I had to do it, one day, even if it's a lame crack... (read the source for a bit more details, but not that much either) (extract_all.c to suck the scripts out of ATLANTIS.001. You also need ATLANTIS.000. Then use ScummVM tools to extract scripts. You want to look at script 207 of room 81.)
• msa.c a little program to extract files from a MSA archive (MSA stands for Magic Shadow Archiver). MSA files come from the Atari scene as it seems.
• Anonymize a PDF file.
• Backup your phpBB3 data.
• Some stuff around the Commodore 64.
• I did the ICFP code contest. In 2003, in 2004, and in 2005.
• Some demo stuff. There is also the LTP3 page and the LTP4 page.
• AIFC to WAV translator. A tool to translate audio files from some AIFC encodings to WAV.
• Exporting a phpBB forum to RSS. (Does not work with phpBB 3.)
• print_scale.c. A little program to print a given scale (like A minor melodic) on the guitar.
• Save RealPlayer output.
• xpress2html.c. A tool to extract text from a Quark Xpress file. xpress2html.exe is a Windows binary of it (by N8VI, it's his callsign, dig the web to find his contact). (xpress2html-win.c and xpress2html-win.exe to deal with Windows XPress files)
• Opera with no ads.
• Lilimath sous linux (french only).
• ptrace.c. An exploit for old Linux versions.
• Config files.
• ffmpeg tricks.

  • Hayat (Eliz için) (translates to: Life (for Eliz)), some turkish lyrics in there: "Bu ne? bu hayat. Hayat zor." Translates to: "What's this? This is life. Life is hard." Eliz' voice in there. Welcome on earth. You'll see, it's fun...
  • Pataclop, a little girl trying to teach older kids the dangers of tobacco, and... failing. Description of the song. Did wrote the lyrics, I made the rest,
  • Fuck your sexism,
  • Dark obsessions, some, what? "obsessive" metal? (drone/doom, maybe...) One hour long, guitar/voice,

  • Bloody Christmas, Deadly New Year, another cover,
  • Karcher, about, well, life (description).
• Apopathodiaphulatophobie: a six months (now defunct) grindcore experiment. (hell, that was fun!)
• A cappella: stuff, in french. Raw voice, no instrument, crappy microphone.

4. Technical texts

• Minesweeper is NP-complete: some stuff about it, mostly because the research paper about it is not available online (as far as I checked).
• Sudoku and SAT: a rather long text about sudoku and SAT.
• A research paper (model checking): here.

5. Random stuff
