A buddy of mine and I are going to do a hack feat together, we've come up with a few idea on what we would like to do but however I would like some suggestions on what can, and should be done.
We are thinking of doing he following:
- writing a complete file converter using JRuby
- writing a hex editor with a front end development and the back end development in Ruby
- programming a roomba in Ruby
So here's my questions, for the file converter, is that even possible in JRuby?
For the hex editor, how difficult would this truly be?
Hi Marcus,
you havent seen the ' ' ?
it makes sense:
How do you interpret the hacking-fest mail?
Why hacking?
What is meant with complete...?
- so we hope to get more details from Thomas!

@Berg
This is even more cryptic than your usual posts.
I guess this is meant as a joke, because nothing in this answer
makes any sense. Please stop joking.
A hack-feat is just a name given to a group that gets together to make something, or hack something, because they can.
A complete file converter would be able to convert any file to any file:
ods to xlxs
Jpg to png
Etc..

Hello
Would be very useful to also get a .pdf to .mid converter.
- So I hope Marcus allows some jokes of mine...
You mean converting all audio, picture, video, document format into all
other of the same class?
Converting from .mid to .wav or .mp3 is a useful tool. Wrote one myself
once. There are plenty available.
And you can convert audio to images so .mid to .pdf should be doable too.
Round tripping from a spectrogram (an image format) to .wav does not seem
to be out of the question and I suspect that you could probably make a stab
at .wav to .mid.
So yeah, .pdf to .mid is doable.
Of course each one of those is a hefty piece work in and of itself but
don't let that put you off
Actually .ods to .png is quite trivial, but .png to .ods. Now there's a
challenge!
Lets face it someone scanned pictures of vinyl records and converted them
to audio so if you are up to it I also want the sheet music and the lyrics
translated from the original French.
