Obfuscated C

So:
sizeof a++ does not modify a

Unless of course sizeof has been #define'd.

And don't forget that there is a difference between:
#define sizeof ...
and
#define sizeof(x) ...

Oh, the possibilities...

Google TV & Movies DRM on Mint/Ubuntu

Google Play Movies & TV works best under Chrome on Linux, but unless HTML5 is working for you, Flash is needed for playback and DRM Flash playback requires the long since deprecated HAL.

Fortunately an updated HAL is maintained for this purposes. The hal ppa is at:

Most of these details are thanks to Justin Watt at askubuntu.com/questions/166760/how-do-i-play-movies-on-google-play who says:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mjblenner/ppa-ha
sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get install hal
cd ~/.adobe/Flash_Player
rm -rf NativeCache AssetCache APSPrivateData2

I wonder

I wonder



I wonder where I'm going
andI wonder where I've gone,

I wonder what I'm doing here
andwhen I'm moving on



I wonder when I'm going
asI think on where I've been

I wonder what I'm going for

whatever can it mean:



This coming and this going

from there and place to place

whatever do I do it for;

I know it's not a race


I wonder what I'm doing

what I'm here for anyhow

And does it really matter

If I don't do it now?



I know it has a reason

but what that is I don't know

I've tried to find out all my life

I have to find out so —



I'll remember where I'm going
andI'll know just where I've been

I'll know quite what I'm going for
andremember what I've seen

I found this a bit sickly at the time and my view hasn't changed much in the last 23 years. verse 2 and 3 were scribbled through but I've included them here.

Inspired by mission transfers; and the first couple of minutes of this video:


The next wonder poem

The next wonder poem


Sometimes I'll wonder
&sometimes I'll won't,
&sometimes I'll wonder
why sometimes I don't

And when I sometimes wonder
Why I'm sometimes won't
I'm sometimesing wonder
how I still am.
wondering
about
nothing at all.

Poem: On wondering too much

On wondering too much

or

I also wonder


I wonder why I wonder,
What I do it for, and how,
I wonder as I wonder why I'm wondering right now

And as I wonder wonder wonder wondering today
I wonder if I should have really
stayed in bed today
