My name is Simon Shine, I am a student at DIKU. I am also a hobbyist computer programmer. You can reach me on shreddedglory gmail com.

If you are Danish and into homework you should definitely check out IRC channel #lektier at QuakeNet. If you are less technical, check out Lektiecafeer.dk.

I am a vegetarian because animals can think and feel.

Randomness

As part of a course, I wrote a quine, quine.sh. I also wrote two other applications that aren't actually quines. One, quineseries.sh, generates a series of programs where program 1 generates program 2 which generates program 3, etc., and program 99 generates program 0. The other, slashquine.sh, generates itself except for the subtle difference that the comments at the top of the file are updated with Slashdot news. So no, quines are not useless. Now you can read Slashdot with them, too!

All your base 10 are belong to us.

Esperanto

Mi komencis lerni Esperanton en aprilo 2009. Mi havis ideon pri konstrui ludon por lerni la lingvo. Mi faris ilustrajan gvidlibron por modifi la klavaro en Ubunto-Linukso (en la angla, pardonu). Se vi volas uzi xmodmap-on anstataŭe, provu tian liston:

keycode 54 = c C c C ccircumflex Ccircumflex
keycode 42 = g G g G gcircumflex Gcircumflex
keycode 43 = h H h H hcircumflex Hcircumflex
keycode 44 = J J j J jcircumflex Jcircumflex
keycode 39 = s S s S scircumflex Scircumflex
keycode 30 = u U u U ubreve Ubreve

Mi partoprenas en "Memstaraj Esperantistoj" kiuj estas grupo de junuloj lernantaj la lingvo internacia kune kun unu la aliaj. Ni loĝas en la nova junuldomo, La Mortmaŝino, kaj La Dana Esperanto-Asocio kunvenas apude.
