When my girlfriend came across this erotic alphabet, the first thing she wanted was to be able to spell out various things with it. Add a pinch of python and php and the result is the Erotic Alphabet Image Generator. The source code of the script used to generate the images is available here.

Also tagged cli, command line, mandelbrot, math, Programming, SoftwareI just recently revisited the M-Set code from my Perl Snippets post. The code I had was pretty ugly, so I decided to rewrite it in Python. The result is not only a lot cleaner and easier to understand, but it’s also a lot faster: $ time python mandel.py > \dev\null real 0m0.051s user 0m0.036s [...]

However, I have a couple short scripts that I’m just dying to share. Just Another Perl Hacker I figured that it was about [...]

It was about $30 with shipping, and I got a neat little dongle which connects over USB to my computer and communicates with software. It didn’t come with support for OS X (although interestingly enough it shipped with Mac OS 8 and 9 drivers), [...]
