gallery of computation

This guy is no Jon Klein, but his computer-generated abstract art (and the nifty flash-based web site!) are very, very cool.

(Congratulations, by the way, to aforementioned ldopa contributor Jon, who has just gotten a sweet-ass job working for these guys; they designed the visuals for a little application you might have heard of, called **iTunes**).

Yesterday’s conversation with Jonny, and the state he left my computer in last night, prompted the following idea for a short but useful script:

Backtrack

A script that checks the last few system-level changes made to your computer, and displays them for you. Not as creepy as a listening device for your keyboard, and almost as useful when something gets slighly f*cked up.

I have no idea how to make this happen. I don’t even know what to write it in.

Joshua has suggested the alternative name of “Whuzza?”. He has not, however, volunteered any programming advice.

HA! I will continue to take threads off topic until my demands for posting permissions are met!

To the off-topic mobile!

Windows XP sort of does this. It keeps a list of things that have happened that would make your computer not work, and lets you roll your machine back to a more stable state. It works about 75% of the time.

I will fix your computer if you feed me.

“feed”

hmmm….

What about a script that would check changes to permissions on browsers, terminal emulators, and other programs that contain network protocalls?
