Javascript brainfuck interpreter

Last night I wrote a javascript brainfuck interpreter. You can try it out.

It works by reading the brainfuck code from the textarea and compiling it to the equivalent javascript code. That output is then passed to eval(). The input and output are put into arrays of javascript numbers. The string to/from byte array conversion is done before and after evaluating the program.

As far as I can tell my compiler meets brainfucks official portability standard. It should be a good testing platform for those crazy enough to want to write brainfuck programs, but to lazy to install a compiler.

Google Chrome crash window

Just bumped into this. Nice and quirky:

Google Chrome crash

I'm not sure exactly what I did to cause this. I simply browsed a few pages and then left it running for a few hours.

My pet peeve

I'm hugely annoyed by people that put a space before question marks at the end of questions in languages other than French. Usage of question marks seems have at least three different types, illustrated below.

  • ¿Habla Español?
  • Parlez-vous français ?
  • Do you speak English?
  • Talar þú íslensku?

Egoblog

I've noticed when egobrowsing Google Analytics that for some reason this page gets a lot more hits that my amazing mobile blog.

The mobile blog generally has a lot more activity with up to 12 posts per month, so I'd like to recommend it's atom feed to both you syndicators out there.

Mjög athyglisvert.

Ég hef raunar einmitt velt þessum málum fyrir mér, en ekki haft þekkingu á innri lagagerð banka til að draga neinar ályktanir. Raunar hefur einhver basic hagfræðibók fyrir framhaldsskólana verið á leslistanum lengi, sem byrjunar punktur í þessari stúdíu. En af einhverjum ástæðum hafa önnur mál heillað meira. Þetta var hinsvegar fínt skref í rétta átt, opnaði augu mín fyrir eðli málsins að einhverju leyti. - Ég er enn efins þó. Ef við hugsum okkur að lán jafngildi greiðum, þá má vera að samfélagi sé nauðsynlegt að byggja upp slíkt safn greiða. Á móti kemur að þessi veldisvöxtur er farinn að vera þeim sem vilja sjá það, augljós galli á 'kerfinu'. - Aftur játa ég þó fáfræði mína og hafna dómi í málinu, að svo komnu, en mun án efa íhuga þetta ( jafnvel gegn vilja mínum - því þannig er ég nú einu sinni gerður ). - Góð ábending Sindri! ;)

DAPSinn

Sæll Sindri, er bara að velta fyrir mér hvort DAPS hugbúnaðurinn sé keyrandi í bakgrunni á vefsvæðinu þínu, og hvort þú notir hann til að vinna allar myndir til birtingar?

Hi Sindri

In 1969, the conceptual artist Douglas Huebler wrote, "The world is full of objects, more or less interesting; I do not wish to add any more." I've come to embrace Huebler's ideas, though it might be retooled as, "The world is full of texts, more or less interesting; I do not wish to add any more." It seems an appropriate response to a new condition in writing today: faced with an unprecedented amount of available text, the problem is not needing to write more of it; instead, we must learn to negotiate the vast quantity that exists. That's what we need to think about, when talking about money, in my opinion.

DAPS er internetið, og húnakóngur ræður öllu þar.

Mony

I think that wen mony is here, we can have food. But let's not forget that there are other important things that we need. We need more food, water, and shelter. Of course, we only really need lots of food and water to make beer because those are our fundamental biological needs. But in order to have stuff that we need as well as stuff that we "need" (you know, the "state-of-the-market" computer that is about to be outdated by the next one), we need something else. But what is that somthing I ask you?

Comeback

And with the local BBC news Osama Bin Laden with a triumphant comeback , said the following in his new video:

Dont call it a comeback
I been here for years
Rockin my peers and puttin suckas in fear
Makin the tears rain down like a mon soon
Listen to the bass go boom
Explosion overpowerin
Over the competition Im towerin
Wreckin shop when I drop these lyrics thatll make you call the cops
Dont you dare stare, you betta move
Dont ever compare
Me to the rest thatll all get sliced and diced
Competitions payin the price

Migrating monkeys

I had to migrate from one PC to another slightly newer one at work. After being extremely frustrated about Outlook 2007 not being able to pick up what my setup was on the newer PC I did some googling and found the USMT. The User State Migration Tool will with an amazingly good command line interface (for M$) gather your user settings on one Windows box and restore them on the newer one. I've yet to find anything it missed. You can get the USMT here.

Google webmasters tools

I've decided to share my superb experience with Googles webmaster tools. Apart form having a name that makes me feel like I'm the master of something, it manages to fully serve all my egobrowsing needs. It actually shows a list of all other websites that link to mine, and I can download the information as csv.

Website launch

I've had this domain for a while now and always intended to start a personal/professional blog here. Finally now I have access to a instance of VYRE Unify to play around with so now the only thing that can possibly stop me is finding the time away from making Unify to use it to blog.
