Quote Of The Week:
— Silverstr, at dinner the other night.
Well, I got some work done tonight. Webmail is fixed thanks to a package update, LVM [archive.org link] is going as an experiment, and I found a nice substring replace() function in C. Firewalls, normally my bitch, were the bane of my existance tonight as I tried desparately to get things going on them. I guess when something is designed to “not work with a firwall or NAT system in between the client and the server”, it means it, even if I wrote it 🙂 Oh well, hopefully things will work properly when I get to work tomorrow… I’ve been having some weird problems with server messages and replies not working properly, but I’m pretty sure that’s the SSL connection not passing data through the firewall, not random pointer related problems (fingers crossed).
I was looking forward to updating UFies.org tonight to the latest version of phpnuke, and maybe even re-theming it in something less ugly, but life wouldn’t have it. Instead I had a nice relaxing dinner, a nice relaxing bath, some good coding (it’s nice to see complexity go away sometimes), and an apt-get install imp fixing wacky webmail probs.
Still in the middle of Linus Torvalds’ book Just For Fun. It’s quite good, though I find the history of the OS more interesting than the political stuff he gets into towards the end (though seeing him tactfully say that RMS can be a weenie was kinda neat). The latest batch of MP3s need to be organized, and all my other tunes still need to be checked for dupes, bad tags (things like spaces, spelling, capitalizatiON) and so on. I’m slowly starting to suck them all across the VPN to the office where I can listen to them 8 hours a day to find ones with errors, the wrong filename/info, or virtual scratches.
Hmm… arcterex.net could use a facelift one of these days too….
