confession
@softgoat They're supposed to help with multitasking in the brain sense by organizing windows into separate piles. I don't know how useful or effective it is because it's been an age since I tried one.
After hand-patching and creating a new diff comes getting it to compile in clang.
Because absolutely NOTHING I do to the Imakefile is creating Makefiles with "CC = gcc" in them. No matter what, they're all "CC = cc", which is clang's C compiler.
The patch file is a unified diff that contains at least one unified diff nested within.
I sure hope patch processes files in lines from first to last, because that's how I'm making and skipping the hand-editing. :/

WPA2, nonce, lewd
If we're going to reuse nonces in WPA2, then we need a way to better verify their integrity. Thankfully, my favorite rag, Hacking Gibsons, was on it four years ago. :V

xcalpr.c:89:21: error: initializer element is not constant
static FILE *fout = stdout;
Everything I'm reading says that hasn't been valid C since before ANSI standardization way back in the '80s.
Oh, duh. The Debian package page has a diff file downloaded separately, and some of them are patches to the C files fixing the compiler error I'm getting. Guess I should read it, edit the source, and re-diff them.
The latest date in xcal's CHANGES file is 1995-09-13.
@ticky Ruby's decisions about how to encode strings and when the default encodings are overridden mystify me. The String and Encoding class docs barely help me at all.
a mediocre coder who writes well is twice as valuable and ten times as teachable as a great coder who can't string words together
Programming which requires cussing:
If a native HDBF VM exists and GCC is ported to it, then it's all over.
