Mongoose

A compiler for a turing complete subset of C.

This was a project I started back in Grade 12. It currently supports most of C's syntax. It is currently lacking C's type system, once that is in place then it will be trivial to make it compile the full standard.

UWaterloo AddCourse

A command line executable to get into those must-have courses when you've missed the course selection deadline.

Once upon a time in first year university, a young man was so overwhelmed with his new environment that he completely forgot to do course selection. So he wrote a script that would continually ask the dastardly QUEST system to get him into the courses he needed. That script grew and grew into UWaterloo AddCourse and saved us all from many a headache.

This easy to use script will prevent you from missing out on those super important courses that you absolutely need for your degree. Just let it run on your computer all day and night long and as soon as there is an opening in a course, it will register you into that course. No hassle, no worrying, just start it and forget about it.

  • We should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time: premature optimization is the root of all evil. Yet we should not pass up our opportunities in that critical 3%.

    Donald E. Knuth

  • In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.
    There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.
    Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.
    Now is better than never.
    Although never is often better than *right* now.
    If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea.
