Recently, I was reading about some sample interview questions used (at some point) by Google. One such question was "what are the first 10 consecutive digits of e that form a prime number?" Curious, I went to Wikipedia and looked up some primality tests that I could run on 10-digit prime candidates (if you'll forgive the pun) from e. One such test was Fermat's Primality Test, which can be used to probabilistically assess a number's primality (it fails on Carmichael numbers, et alia). I've written up a short python script which runs the test on the numbers 1 to 100 using computed probable primes as possible coprimes and returns all probable primes.

def test(end):
candidates = range(1,end+1)
primes = list()
for candidate in candidates:
prime = True
for prime in primes:
if candidate % prime:
test_result = ((prime ** (candidate - 1)) % candidate)
print "Candidate: %s, Prime: %s, Result:%s" %(candidate,prime,test_result)
if test_result != 1:
prime = False
break
if prime:
primes.append(candidate)
return primes
test(100)
A friend of mine was talking to me recently about how she wished iTunes let her edit song metadata more easily, as if she were editing a spreadsheet in Excel or OpenOffice. Drawing on this as inspiration, I've written a little python script that gets all music files (as specified in the list file_types) from a folder (and all subfolders), exports their metadata to a Comma Separated Value file, and then takes all changes made to that file and applies them to the tracks. As with my xml playlist downloader, you'll need the ID3 library for python installed.

If you'd like to download from other playlists, simply change xml_url (and perhaps localdir, if you'd like to download your music to somewhere a little more accessible). You'll need to have this ID3 library installed.

No longer! Below, please find a short python application I wrote (which even uses a fancy and unnecessary GUI) to create Paint.Net palettes from Color Scheme Designer palettes. Just export your Color Scheme Designer palette to text, copy what the site gives you, paste it into the application, and click "convert and save". The resulting file is ready to import into Paint.Net at your leisure.
