Not much of anything

Worked on organizing MP3s for a day or two. At this point I’m pretty good at identify some parts of speech, especially prepositions and conjunctions, because of my capitalization rules in titles.

Working on a Hearts game for PalmOS right now. Used Check for some C unit testing; not bad at all. Learned a bit about automake and autoconf too. Some stuff that you’d expect to be common in automake/autoconf isn’t very easy IMHO, such as compiling with -Wall or similar if supported by the compiler. I still think I’m not very fond of m4.

Changing my indent style a bit too. Some page about a Loony Programmer has examples of what are apparently the four major indentation styles. For years I have used GNU. I picked it up from reading the GNU coding standards in info on one of my first Linux installations, probably. I figured that since we had all this GNU software everyone was using it. Secretly, it seems everyone was using any style but GNU. The Jargon File on indentation styles claims that BSD and Whitesmiths are the most popular styles. I can’t seeing Whitesmiths that often, and BSD only somewhat more frequently. I think K&R is what I see the most of. K&R is apparently dubbed “the One True Brace Style” as well. (For example, see The Ten Commandments for C Programmers. Though it bothers me this is listed as “humor” everywhere else.) So I’m giving K&R a style. I need to update my .emacs in CVS and put it on codefu.org too.
