I found a funny hashcode on twitter : #songsincode (thanks @jessyjones). songsincodedb.com should aggregate them, but it seems to do not work since October 2009 …

The goal is to write some code to make you recognize a music.

I wrote some. Let’s see if you can discover them

if(night.isCame() && land.isDark() && me.saw() == moon.light)
    while(you.standBy(me))
        me.isAfraid(False);

for(i=0; i<4; ++i) {
    free(desire);
    if(i == 3) break;
    purify(mind);
    purify(senses);
}
sleep(1.0);
nanana();

if(you.go(san_francisco)) {
    hair.wear(flowers);
    you.meet(people.gentled);
}

assert(rightTime)
assert(rightOne)
saySomethingAbout(us)
assert(!somethingBetweenUs())

a = ["need", "want", "ll miss", "love"]
b = ["thing", "one"]
for i in range(0, 4):
    print "I %s you more than any%s in my life" % (a[i], b[i / 2])

Come on, it is quite explicit, isn't it ?

When I said art can be expressed by code ...

Is it possible to express a feeling with C language ?

Whereas the definition of hacker is a guy who transforms a system to make it do something that is unrelated to its primary purpose, I believe that the extended definition is someone who consider the code as an art.

And art implies expression of a feeling.

Jump !

void leftSide(void)
{
    void (*jump)(void);
    jump = (void(*)(void))rand64();
    jump();
}

void rightSide(void)
{
    printf("I did it !\n");
}

Russian Roulette

(rand() % 6) || *(void*)0;

Edge of a cliff

for(int a = 0; a; *(void*)a);

Love

char                       I      [13];
strcpy(I,                 "love");
for(char c = I[0] - 0x30; "you"; c = putchar(-c + I[1]));

Did I tell you I love Paris ?

My previous flat had a view on the Eiffel Tower. But I had to leave it for another in Courbevoie, near La Défense.

But because I still want my view on the Eiffel Tower, I created this tiny program in Python to show the Eiffel Tower webcam (powered by ParisRama.com) on my (future) TV. And I think some people would enjoy it.

Actually this program is a generic real-time wallpaper refresher for Gnome (so Ubuntu, Fedora with Gnome, …) : you can splash what webcam you want on your desktop wallpaper.

Here’s the source code. Save this file in the folder you want, open a shell, and write :

python wallweb.py -l 5 -r http://www.parisrama.com/webcam1.jpg

to show the Eiffel Tower. Tadaaa ! Your desktop now looks like like this.

“5″ means the program will refresh every 5 seconds. You can of course increase this value if you want to save your network bandwith. Also, you can configure Gnome to launch my program automatically when Gnome is starting.

If you do not want to write every time this previous shell line, you can also download this shell file which makes the job for you. Do not forget to write

chmod +x eiffel.sh

to make it runnable. Then write

./eiffel.sh

to launch it.

Enjoy. Feel free to modify my source code (but please do not remove my name). Think about me when you’ll use it

See you.

Hey people,

Yes I’m alive.

Not some useful information in this post, just to tell you I’m just overloaded.

Also, I moved to Courbevoie in a new cute flat. Still not have electricity power, but it’s OK.

In few times, I promise, I will finish and publish some posts.

Until then, be wise

Homemade motivational time !
