Forrst Of Geeks

Cruising Proggit the other day I saw a sponsored ad for Forrst. There was some feedback on the ad (that's how Reddit ads work) and I noticed that Forrst's owner was providing direct feedback which is always nice so I decided to check it out. One word: wickedbadassawesomesauce. It's a … more »

Ongoing Projects

So in all 5 minutes of my free time I've managed to squeeze in some side projects. One I've "highlighted" (pun intended) here before: lzHilight. The other is a mini-project I through together to add cterm support to Vim colorschemes without the need for the somewhat bulky GuiColorScheme plug… more »

Big Highlighter Update 0.8.2

In the spirit of PHP I figured I would make a major update in a minor version. So here's version 0.8.2 and here's the changelog for the beast. (This will probably be the last of the major changes since from here on out all development will probably be focused on the tokenizers or creating so… more »

Less Broken = Win, Highlighter V0.8

Here 'tis, version 0.8. Most of the major changes dealt with fixing the HTML tokenizer which now works *almost* flawlessly. Here are the updated README and CHANGELOG from v0.8. Download: CLI Highlighter v0.8 CHANGELOG 0.8 * Changed the way custom handlers work in syntax fi… more »

Invading Automata (Highlighter V0.7)

Another quick update for the syntax highlighter. I've rewritten a bit of the main program for extensibility and I've bundled an HTML tokenizer (unfortunately this is a finite state automata, its almost impossible to go completely stateless) and syntax files. Coinciding with some of the new c… more »

Stateless Syntax Highlighter Part 2

The highlighter has been completely overhauled to be extensible using external tokenizers and color files. PHP CLI Highlighter v0.5 Here is the new README from the file: Command line syntax highlighter ------------------------------- Getting Started: Requirements: Requires P… more »

Stateless Syntax Highlighter

About a year ago I got the dumb idea of creating a syntax highlighter that uses ECMA—48 SGR sequences to enable syntax highlighting on the command line. I searched for a while to see if I could cure a little NIH Syndrome and didn't find anything, so I ventured off on my own and th… more »

Skittles Dark: A Vim Colorscheme

PHP C++ Download: Skittles Dark I've used quite a few color schemes in the past with vim. The first one I fell in love with was Wombat. It was clean, had good contrast and was easy on the eyes during late night sessions/dimly lit cubicles. The second that I… more »

Vim Brush For SyntaxHighlighter

SyntaxHighlighter is awesome but there is no builtin Vim "brush" as they call their files which match a syntax. At first I tried to hack it by adding "vim" as an alias to the Bash brush but that only caught a few keywords at most and since I've been posting a lot of Vim snippets lately I… more »

My Vim/gVim Setup

UPDATE:The following is quite out of date. My up-to-date dotfiles can be found on github: https://github.com/shawncplus/dotfiles I am not shy in the least in saying that I use Vim and that I believe it is a superior text editor once you overcome the steep learning curve. I speak for mysel… more »

Obfuscation As A Learning Tool

So a few years ago I caught a glance of the IOCCC(The International Obfuscated C Code Contest) which inspired me to write this bit of C. All it does is output "HELLO WORLD" but it got me thinking; could obfuscation be used as a learning tool? Or even as a skill metric? I realized that even … more »

Inaugural Blog Post

So here 'tis, the first post of the blog. Was kind of happy with how quick it was to implement. I decided to write it from scratch since the sfSimpleBlog plugin is propel. I got about halfway through and was trying to remember the syntax for one to many relationships in Doctrine and I stumbl… more »
