Miscellaneous

This repository is meant to store the little pieces of code I write — scripts, snippets, anything important enough to write but trivial enough to not deserve its own repository.

Contributions are appreciated!

backupmusic

I have two hard disks with music — my primary one, used with iTunes, and a backup. I don’t manage these with Time Machine, but I wanted a simple way to keep them synced. Because one is an NTFS volume, using a tool like Carbon Copy Cloner isn’t an option. I don’t get automation, but that’s okay because I only plug in the backup before going to bed anyhow.

So I put this together. It 1) copies library files from the iTunes directory to the primary disk, then 2) mirrors the primary disk to the backup. Thus I can restore both the music itself and the iTunes library files, in case either becomes corrupted.

flip

This is my attempt at writing a script that will take an image and animate flipping it over, in the style of the iPhone’s Weather app. I originally meant it to be used as a Bowtie theme, but gave up after several days of little progress.

It’s obviously incomplete, but it works pretty well for most inputs. The next step is to write a loop that runs the actual animation.

web designs

Various designs that I started work on, but never completed for various reasons. In some cases I’ve converted them from static PHP and HTML 4 into plain HTML 5, but the rest of it remains.

Naturally, code quality lessens as the designs get older.
