In order of ascending awesomeness, YelloSoft projects over the winter include the binfix number formatting library for Node.js; new Windows installers for the curl, grep, and nano Unix programs; rewrites of ROT13, D&D Dice, and Word Count in pure Node.js, with improved interfaces; a Pig Monte Carlo simulation; and Haskell for the Evil Genius, a declarative programming language tutorial for malcontents.
Perl hackery lead to glue.pl, portable software for Windows password retrieval. Copy to a USB drive, insert into the desired computer, and a window pops up listing passwords for each computer account.
