Okay, so I'm 30 now.
It seems somewhat appropriate to point out all the the things people were wrong about, when they said I'd outgrow them at some point. These include:
-
Cold pizza for breakfast - or any other meal, for that matter. The only chance this one has of becoming true is due to the fact that tomato sauce tends to give me heartburn. But other than that, I'm still all in favor of pizza, cold or otherwise.
-
Cartoons - sorry, mom. This one should have been pretty clear when dad demonstrated that he was every bit as amused as I was by Bugs Bunny.
-
Cap'n Crunch - any pre-sweetened breakfast cereal, for that matter. Mmm ...
-
Video games - hmm ... I'm noticing a trend here.
-
Sleeping late - at least I never again have to hear my mom say, "you've just got your days and nights turned around." I think that by age 30, if I were able to become someone who could wake up easily in the morning and fall asleep easily at night, I'd have done so by now.
Yup. Definitely a trend there. I'm not unique at all. I'm just your average geek, it appears. Move along, nothing to see ...
So I've been buried all week in code of various sorts - the redesign here (now compatible with Netscape, and readable in Lynx, but still not right in Opera for some strange reason), and Perl scripts I'm rewriting at work. Not being all that experienced with Perl, I had to work a bit to wrap my brain around the idea that you can do something like this:
push @{$site_list{$server_ip}}, [$site_ip, $site_name, $date];
... and have it work. So now that my brain is properly wrapped, I spent a bit of time adding some more functionality and making the whole thing modular, so that that
@{$site_list{$server_ip}} hash can get populated in a few different ways before the stuff that depends on it happens. Not that you care.
So by the time I got home I wasn't in much of a mood to write anything else here. I hope you're not surprised.
