To fix xsnow
To fix xsnow, downloadhttp://thinksplat.com/BigSantaRudolf1.XPM
http://thinksplat.com/BigSantaRudolf2.XPM
http://thinksplat.com/BigSantaRudolf3.XPM
http://thinksplat.com/BigSantaRudolf4.XPM
and put them into the pixmaps directory of the xsnow source. Re-compile xsnow.
It only “fixes” the default configuration which is a big Santa with Rudolf. I can’t imagine using any other configuration.
John
The original xsnow program only had 3 sets of reindeer (6 total). I modified it to include all 8 (+1 for Rudolf) reindeer. The configuration is 4 sets of 2 and 1 alone in front.

Toilet Flushing
The toilets at my work can be flushed once. If they are clogged and fill up with water, flushing it a second time is a very bad idea.

Plastic containers
I hope some day I catch the person who keeps hiding the lids for my plastic containers. Whoever it is keeps replacing them with lids of containers I have never owned.

Ruby falseness
I simply love the Ruby language, but one BIG annoyance is Ruby’s representation of false. Namely, nil and false are false, everything else is true. Where this causes problems is statements like:
if 4 & 1
puts “The number 4 has the 1 bit set”
else
puts “The number 4 does not have the 1 bit set”
end
In most every language I know, this will print “The number 4 does not have the 1 bit set.” Ruby, on the other hand, evaluates 4 & 1 to be 0, and the number ZERO in Ruby is true.
To make the above statement correct, you must say
if 4 & 1 != 0
