ruskotron / mycmd.cmd

Windows command-shell initialisation - if you're used to developing under linux and you want to enjoy some of the same command-line luxuries under windows unfortunately there's nothing you can do to get command-line history beyond your current seesion :-(

	rem lines starting with "rem" are commented out similar to '#' in unix-land

	rem so you want to have a useful windows command-line?
	rem put this file in some standard location like "C:\myscripts"
	rem then right-click, "New > Shortcut" and enter the following for location:
	rem C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /K "C:\myscripts\mycmd.cmd"
	rem give it a name you like and then 'finish'
	rem then right-click on the shortcut, go to "Properties" and set "Start in:" to be your "Home Directory"

	rem I've tried to explain some of the peculiarities of windows "batch-file" and "doskey" scripting below ...

ruskotron / my_epoch

So imagine you have an arbitrary time system in place, where you define time as a number of minutes from a particular date (beginning of your "epoch"), or days from that particular date. If you ever needed to convert such dates to a sensible format, commands such as these could be useful to you. Just add to your environment (e.g. ".bashrc") e.g.…

	# set base of 'my' epoch (here it's the start of the 21st century)
	export MY_EPOCH=$(expr $(date --date="2000/01/01 00:00:00" +%s))

	# format date and time, as expressed in minutes from start of 'my' epoch
	function strftime_my {
	date --date="@$(expr $MY_EPOCH + $ $1 \* 60 $ )"
	}

	# format date, as expressed in days from start of 'my' epoch
	function strfdate_my {

	#escape ^Zz

	termcapinfo xterm\|xterms\|xs\|rxvt ti@:te@

	# you will get a bottom bar indicating name of machine you're on, a clock, and indicators in which shell you currently are.
	# Use CTRL-A SHIFT-A to rename your shells. The names will then also appear in the bottom bar

Java style pseudocode for the remedian algorithm

	/* Remedian algorithm rework to use matrices rather than discrete arrays

	"""The program of Figure 2 can be easily adapted to produce
	the remedian curve, by replacing the arrays A l , A2,
	A3, and A4 of length 11 by matrices with 11 rows and T
	columns. In this way the total storage becomes 44T, whereas
	the plain median would have needed 14,641T positions"""
