Hmm. Still not much, actually - which is in keeping with the monastic aesthetic, I suppose.
There's a TagCloud visualization I wrote for Cory Doctorow, originally posted here. A very simple script, it's usefulness derives from little more than just gluing together Léon Brocard's HTML::TagCloud module, and Jesse Vincent's HTTP::Server::Simple module.
Someone asked about getting this script running on Mac OS X. Rather than write up a lengthy bit about the variety of options for installing the necessary dependent modules on an OS X box, I instead decided to use Sveinbjorn Thordarson's most excellent Platypus utility to create a stand-alone OS X application that bundles in the dependent modules and invokes the script. You can download that here. This version also incorporates uploading a notes file via the web interface, rather than on the command line.
The latest source to TagCloud.pl is here.
There was a SpamAssassin-enabled POP3 proxy I wrote for Win32 users - it's a little outdated, contact me if you'd like a copy.
perl -le 'for($c="McD"; $i<167990; $i++, $c++) {} print $c'

I leveraged this technique to create an entry in an Obfuscated Code Contest on BoingBoing - which, amazingly enough, I won! The comments along with the posting mention that you need "either a recent Perl interpreter or a couple more megs of memory" - it turns out the Perl "1..N" operator was optimized along the way to not create an actual list with N elements in it.

By now, the hyphen has been dropped in common usage. Knuth FTW.
Bits of this site might look awfully familiar to other people who've writen websites. By way of thanks, let me just say:
"Newton said he saw farther because he stood on the shoulders of giants.
Computer programmers stand on each other's toes."
"Lesser artists borrow, great artists steal."
