kbdscan is a small program to set the FreeBSD console keyboard in
raw scancode mode and show scancodes of keys pressed and released.
Five seconds of inactivity resets the console to the original mode
and quits the program.
Binary clock to display time in binary format.
It supports showing the time with eight different colors,
and it can run a loop that prints the time every second.
Two samples for the biosfont(4) kernel module:
* showchar shows a requested character on stdout
* showdati is a digital clock. Best viewed on 80x25 consoles.
Birthday displays a list of events which are coming up in the near future,
based on a config file (~/.birthdays) in the user's home directory.
Used in a user's .profile or crontab it can save the day for many

Sort files or its standard input using the bogo-sort algorithm
described in the Jargon File <http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/>.
A quote from the Jargon File 'bogo-sort' entry:
...The archetypical perversely awful algorithm (as opposed to
_bubble sort_, which is merely the generic bad algorithm).
_Bogo-sort_ is equivalent to repeatedly throwing a deck of cards
in the air, picking them up at random, and then testing whether
they are in order. It serves as a sort of canonical example of
awfulness. Looking at a program and seeing a dumb algorithm, one
might say "Oh, I see, this program uses _bogo-sort_." Esp.
appropriate for algorithms with factorial or super-exponential
running time in the average case and probabilistically infinite
worst-case running time. Compare _bogus_, _brute force_,
_lasherism_...

The boxes command is a text filter which can draw ASCII art boxes around
its input text. These boxes may also be removed, even if they have
been badly damaged by editing of the text inside. Since boxes may be
open on any side, boxes can also be used to create regional comments in
any programming language. With the help of an editor macro or mapping,
damaged boxes can easily be repaired.
