Projects are being referred to as “grenades” (“grenade” here is a fruit, or rather a seed, of the “grenade pod tree” so it’s all nice and good, have a look here, if in doubt). I’ll be tracking how each and every one of them progresses and will post an update on how they are doing. Again, I’m experimenting on two fronts here: a) project in itself is an experiment and b) all projects are part of a bigger project, which can be summarised as “how do I find my ways on the internet”.
Grenade #1: Upside Down Text plugin for WordPress
This little plugin introduces new tag (<upsidedown>, how obvious is that?) that you can use in your posts, pages and comments. Any text placed between the tags will get turned 180 degrees or effectively upside-down. This is achieved by using Unicode characters that resemble mirror images of the original latin letters.
Useful to “hide” text in posts, so for example if you ask questions, you have a possibility to provide answers, just like the newspapers do.
Grenade #2: System administrator’s quiz
A compilation of questions and topics that you can use to assess someone’s knowledge in system administration field. Wide variety of topics is covered here, from OS internals to scripting and even some programming. OS questions are primarily Linux (RedHat/CentOS/etc) related, but the questionnaire is constantly being updated with the new questions and I will most definitely include questions about other systems.
I want this to be a joint effort, so comments are open for each questions, please provide your answers and views of the problems.
