Why I use LinuxIt's that decision I find I keep having to justify to different people.
Why I don't like MySpaceYes, it is slightly hypocritical..... It's also in dire need of some cleaning up.
The truth behind 11/9. Maybe.Written as a means of disreputing (select) internet sources in time-wasting online discussions. I've found it's linked to a fair bit externally, so i've kept it. I've no idea if the people link to it know its purpose, though

newuserScript for creating user accounts and apache2 vhost config. Probably relies on Debianish paths. Heavily commented.
Bash scripts that seem to work:
UserinfoGiven a username as its parameter, returns user id, default shell, home dir from /etc/passwd, tells you which groups they're in, how big their ~ is, if they've got an apache UserDir (can either reference httpd.conf or take a hard-coded path) and how big that is, whether domain.com/~username/index.htm is a symlink or a real file, and how many files are in ~ and ~/public_html. Example output here.
TrashHandy script to view and/or delete trash files on Kubuntu (and presumably other) systems. Defaults to ~ trash file, but you can make it any dir on any filesystem. usage, output.
Fortran95 stuff that seems to work:
A Bicycle spoke length calculatorUses the maths from wheelpro, not been subjected to anything even approaching rigorous testing in this guise, though.
Windows binary here
Give it wheel+tyre size, crank length and sprocket sizes, it tells you gear ratio, gear inches, gain and development. Well, it tries. There's a problem in the maths that I havent got round to finding. If you find it, let me know
Volume and mass of a cuboid calculatorGive it 3 dimensions and density, it gives you volume, surface area and mass.
Windows binary here.
For ax²+bx+c=0, give it values of a, b and c and it tells you which way up the curve is, where the turning point is and the value(s) of x. Good for complex roots.
Windows binary here
You give it a string of numbers, it gives you mean, median, sum, sum of squares, standard deviation and highest and lowest numbers.
Windows binary here.
If any of that stuff doesn't work, let me know. Cheers!
The GNU Fortran compiler (G95) is here for Linux, and here for Windows.
