color my code [10/20/2006 20:32:53]

I was all about to print out the prototype code for offline study, when I decided I wanted it in color. So I read the manual for GNU enscript, and now I know how to make a nice little color postscript file that I can send to ps2pdf. Yay.

So of course then I thought: this ought to be a website. Just a little form where you could upload some code and get it back in color. So then I thought: hey, I ought to build it. And then I remembered: I gotta stop wasting my time on silly projects.

But I do think people would use it. I know I would. I like to print code out and make notes in pencil when I'm new to a project. So, keeping in mind all those thoughts about letting other people do things, I set up an Elance account and posted it as a project:
