I just noticed that I have done all the python stuff on my laptop where I saved my executables in a directory called bin/ and all my C stuff on my desktop where I saved all my executables in a directory called scripts/
(The reason I’ve done that is because I set up my vimrc for C or Python on my desktop and laptop respectively, the reason that I named the folders that way was because I made the scripts directory for the first bash scripts I did and the bin directory to put world of goo in).
Someone on irc told me about this thing: http://projecteuler.net.
I’ve only done the first one so far (got kinda distracted by trying to put a whole bunch of disparate functions that seemed like they might be useful again sometime in a file and then trying to figure out how to add it’s path to the path for includes – which I did eventually by aliasing gcc to gcc -Idir in my .bashrc, dunno if that is a silly way or not – I think for my next distraction I should work out how to write makefiles :p).
I think it might be kind of fun to do one each day because at the moment I am in a bit of a “schedule fetishism” mood (this normally happens to me much earlier in the long unstructured summer, I think it took so long because I actually spent my time doing stuff spontaneously this year instead of just clicking “refresh” in my browser on some forum like I’ve normally done) ever since I decided to try and get myself up to speed with my maths (also, anyone reading this have any recommendations for a good stats book that would cover the stuff I would have missed out on by not doing A level stats? Because online reviews honestly do not give me a good idea of what to expect from this or that book and the range in local bookshops leaves much to be desired)).
