Write computer programs. Programming is fun and easy. Turn your thoughts
and ideas into byte code and see where they lead.
Code Examples
Spamram.pl - a script you use as an SSI that protects your email address from spam harvesting robots.
Spamlib.pl
- A routine to help you avoid email harvesting robots. Written in Perl as something you can either import into your scripts, or modify to run as a standalone script.
The source for my Java Fractal Generator - Frac_gen.java Compiles and runs great as an applet on my Mac under the freely available JDK 1.0.2
TableMaker - A Perl script that generates Tables in html. You tell it how many rows and columns
you want and it makes a file with the framework of html for a table. Although this one was written
for MacPerl it should run fine in UNIX.
junkmail.pl - Use this script to generate pages of bogus email
addresses, either dynamically as a cgi script, or statically as html pages. The idea is to clutter
up email marketing databasses with bogus addresses.
Have an old 386 or 486 lying around? Why not find one and install
Linux? I've found people throwing away
their older, slower PCs because they think they're not usefull. Linux
is a free, UNIX operating system that runs on many platforms, including
PCs, Macintosh, and SPARC. It's robust, supports many users easily,
is widely supported, and you can't beat the price. It's a great system
to learn how to program on.
