New Sigma wide angle lens

Sigma 10-20mm lens

I finally got a chance to try out my new Sigma 10-20mm wide angle lens.

Overall I'm pretty happy with it. There's a tiny bit of lens distortion at 10mm, but I think it makes the photos more interesting.

The wide angle makes it great for landscapes and indoor photography. Here's a few photos I took from the Carillion.

My LOLCode Interpreter

31 October 2007 Programming, PHP

LOLCode Book

I had 2 hours to kill so I thought I'd write a LOLCode interpreter.

I know there's already a few LOLCode interpreters around, but I couldn't help myself. Plus I've always been interested in interpreter design.

It's still a work in progress at this stage, so a lot of the language hasn't been fully implemented.

Here are two working programs...

Hello World


BTW the classic hello world program
HAI
VISIBLE "Hello world!"
KTHXBAI

Output:

LOLCode Hello World

Accepting User Input


HAI
VISIBLE "Hello there, what is your name?!"
I HAS A NAME ""

BTW ask for the users name
GIMMEH NAME

BTW welcome the user
VISIBLE "Welcome to LOLCode " N NAME N "!"
KTHXBAI

Output:

LOLCode Accepting User Input

Ron Paul Filter for Reddit

30 October 2007

If you're addicted to reddit.com like me, you'll understand my frustration with all those Ron Paul links. Especially if you don't live in the US, and don't really know who the guy is.

If anyone is interested, I've written a small Greasemonkey script which hides all reddit links that include the text "Ron Paul".

To install, download the Greasemonkey file and drag it onto your firefox window.
