Jb in a nutshell

I moved back to Lyon.

Sébastien Lebreton, friend and Reflexil’s author published a nifty article on codeproject, which explains to the mass how to look clever in society, by inserting wisely chosen opcodes in your methods.

As a matter of fact, this article has first be written in French, and published on the TechHeadBrothers web site.

What’s really brilliant is that Reflexil uses Mono.Cecil to perform the mutations of the assemblies you’ll create.

Lately, I’ve found myself using monoport more and more as a convenient pastebin like tool. Working on the build of Mono, I was mainly sending patches, logs or errors for instance.

Today I ended up writing a small script, that I tend to find quite useful, to post to monoport from stdin.

You want to send a patch? Easy:

svn diff | monoport

In return, the script will print the link to the post to stdout.

A little editing by hand will let you change the default values for the name, the life time of the post, and the language it is written in. In any case, you can specify them like this:

cat foo.patch | monoport -n:jbevain -e:f -l:diff

Convenient. I’m pretty sure you can find jillions* of such scripts on the net, still, this one is mine.

Download from here: monoport script. And as you can see, it can even monoport itself. Amazing.

*: sir, it’s not a number!

Rodrigo just ruined the end of my day.
