Introduction I picked up an Acer Aspire ZG5 netbook from my local flea market back in the summer. When I first tried to turn on the machine, it appeared dead so I put it back in a cabinet and forgot about it. Recently I tried to test the laptop to see if it magically got resurrected, and to my great surprise, the machine actually worked! It turns out that the power suppy I originally used to test it was not powering the machine on, and the machine came back to life.

I made a tool for generating random operation sequences (insertion/removal) for trees (2-3-4 tree, Red-Black tree, AVL etc.). You can access it from https://bsahin.xyz/misc/tree Note to self: I should get around forking hugo-theme-terminal to accomodate for listing pages from multiple sections at some point (otherwise stuff not in blog/ remains invisible).

If you remember the old version of bsahin.xyz, you probably remember a blogpost titled Webpage Generation for Lazy People, which was essentially a tutorial for using pandoc to generate standalone webpages from a markdown file. While my old website consisting of a few “lazily generated” pages and some handwritten HTML received compliments on its use of duck.gif, I felt that the website would become convoluted as I added more and more pages.
