This script takes a text file (any text file should) and displays it one line at a time with short delays in between. In other words, you can run this script to make it look like your computer is actually doing something worthwhile.

I had searched around the internet a few times but never really found anything like this, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t look. Maybe I’m just a bad internet searcher. Script after the jump.

I threw this together in an hour or two. I’ll post the code if anyone likes, but it’s really just a sketch so it’s embarrassingly messy and uncommented. It’s inspired by the font “TWenty One” by SMeltery which is “is a French font factory founded in 2002 by Jack Usine”

I think this kind of thing is pretty awesome. Take a picture from your iSight. Take a screencapture. Upload them both to a remote server. WHY DOESN’T EVERYONE WANT TO DO THIS?! Maybe you do, now you can (hopefully).

SVN is confusing, or at least it can be for people who don’t know their way around the Terminal or aren’t exactly sure what SVN is. I was confused by it for a long time and I’m decently technologically inclined. (+1 spelling) This article is intended for those who are forced to use SVN against their will and I will be very explicit and redundant about what is happening and why.

SVN can be learned!
 
You too can learn to love it!
