Another quick half-hour script I wrote. This is an AppleScript that lets you use FaceTime as a video monitor. Just run the script in background, and whenever you want to see your house, just do a FaceTime call to your iMac and the script will accept it.

JoshPong: A Pong game in Windows Console written in Java

(The front end, aka the stuff you see, is written in Java and we might get to that another day). So I decided to compile my own Kindle kernel. Why? Why not. Here’s how:
