I never thought I would say that sentence, but I uploaded something to my Soundcloud.

Filewatcher in Golang

I wrote a little tool in Golang to move files from directory 'a' to 'b'

I had a task today where, among other things, I had to keep moving files from one folder to another. After doing it 5 times, I wanted to automate it with fsnotify/fsnotify.

func main() {
	srcDir := "path/to/a"
	destDir := "path/to/b"

	watcher, err := fsnotify.NewWatcher()
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err)
		os.Exit(1)
	}
	defer watcher.Close()

	done := make(chan bool)
	go func() {
		for {

			event, ok := <-watcher.Events
			if !ok {
				return
			}
			if event.Op.String() == "CREATE" {
				log.Println("[event] ", event)
				newPath := destDir + filepath.Base(event.Name)
				err := os.Rename(event.Name, newPath)
				if err != nil {
					log.Fatal(err)
				}
			}
		}
	}()
	err = watcher.Add(srcDir)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	<-done
}

Winter is here

I think winter is now officially here.

URL in C

An interesting C puzzle I read weeks ago, maybe you might find it amusing.

Did you know that URLs are a valid syntactic element in C? Maybe the syntax highlighting will give you a hint :)

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    https://wildauer.io/
    printf("hello, world\n");
    return 0;
}

~  gcc hello.c -o hello && ./hello
hello, world

The code compiles and runs successfully, because https: is a label and // following begins a comment.

Color scheme

I wanted a new color scheme for this page. I tried some generators but in the end, I used 4-5 different colors I liked on other pages.

I'm microblogging

Some weeks ago, I started microblogging here. At first it was just an experiment, but I like it and I think I am going to stick with it.

I grew up here

There is a trend on Twitter where people post screenshots of their childhood games with the words "I grew up here". Here is mine.

Unicode block

Sometimes when I’m bored, I put � in online forms, just because I know that somewhere in the world a developer is about to go crazy.
