Programming

Useful toys

I write a lot of scripts to make things easier in my own life. When I write one that might be useful for others, I'll try to post them here. Constructive feedback welcome - please keep in mind I am not a professional programmer

Legislative Analysis Scripts

I wrote a set of scripts to highlight the differences between versions of legislation (see more on the policy page). These scripts are free to download and modify - See license in the readme file. The readme contains everything you should need to begin the analysis, but you should know programming in general in order to run these scripts. The script is written in Perl. A newer version that brute force analyzes everything and which does not require external software (as mentioned in this Readme) has been written, but I have not yet packaged it for use by others.
