Rizwan Kassim's INSERT TITLE HERE

Work that I've Done, Guides I have written, Stuff I found, A Bit about Me

Hi. I'm Rizwan Kassim. INSERT BLURB HERE.
I was going to do this site with a Wiki or Drupal until a conversation with Dan Kegel convinced me of the beauty of simplicty.
He describes his own site as a "over-grown bunch of notes" and I've found it extremely easy to navigate.
Four compromises : Using nedit; Using CSS; Using some sort of code syntax hilighting; Using CVS to manage the site

"What they call talent is nothing but the capacity for doing continuous hard work in the right way." -- Winslow Homer

At this point, I'm spending my 'free' time in the following ways:
Over-engineering my CS130 project
Fawning over the ACM Project
Planning my birthday party
Constantly going nuts with mini-cygwin/linux scripts and tools
Working on a generic replacement to _open, etc. for virtual files in C
Learning everything but I actually need to pass classes.

Projects

Software Engineering With Wine - CS 130 UCLA

My group's work on cabinet.dll tests
Adding your code to the configure script - Turn your Makefile.in to a Makefile!
Wine Configure Bug 1730 / 2437 - Current workspace to fix gif_lib.h / DGifOpen compiler error.

Projects to do/in internal progress:

Make some upgrades to and try to get it used a bit more.
Converting GNU Screen Cygwin port to standard Cygwin package
I'm actually pretty peeved about this. I had really intended to start the port from scratch and actually _make_ the port, but it seems its already been done.
Adding (VERY) basic Drag-Drop support to Cygwin/X - I just want to be able to drag files onto Nedit
Packaging BitchX IRC Client into Cygwin Install.
It would be interesting to note what other things I could help with at Cygwin --- do they need conformance tests for libraries like wine does?
Figuring out what went wrong with my Google Interview.
Making a regex/sed 'cheatsheet' so I can finally use it daily without regoogling for info each time.
~~Removing plaintext email links from my blog archives~~ -- Turns out I was smarter in 2003 than I thought, they are written to the page with a js.
I just had to sed out my email address from the php code (now exposed as html).
[rizwank ~/..dia_web/archives]$find . -type f -iname 'index*.html' | xargs sed --in-place -e "s/email/obfuscated/g"
Wow this shell stuff is fun!.
Moving site maintainance from CVS to Subversion --- once I decide if i like Subversion.
"Only until someone makes a software program that lets me control what to do with my typos" --- sounds like a request to me!
Taking more advantage of the CVS management powers that this site has...
