On: Some tiny personal programs I've written

[kinduff]

What a nice read. Motivates me to make a list of these small apps I have all over the place; Raspberry Pis, DO servers, Netlify, etc.

It also reminds me about that usenet story where in a company their lead developer left, and they discovered some fun scripts to automate excuses for his wife, or turning on the coffee machine through telnet. Can't remember the name.

A friend wrote a script for his phone so that when he got to work (GPS location) it messaged his partner a "sweet nothing" text.

Partner was happy with the thoughtfulness. Until it was found out there was no thoughtfulness...
